BUCKS POLL
► Bucks Power
We know that not all members of our Students’ Union (and if you are a student at Bucks then you are instantly a member) want to stand in elections and become an officer, Student Rep, or Union Councillor (Its great if you do!).
That doesn’t mean that you don’t want to be consulted on big issues at Bucks or give your feedback on what’s happening at Uni and what your experience has been like as a student. That is why we have created Bucks Power, giving students a number of informal routes to submit feedback, often directly to the decision makers at the top.
Throughout the year we will give you opportunities to let us know what you think about the big issues, take part in research or contribute to focus groups on anything from course closures and new facilities to the quality of the teaching you receive.
We will let you know what the University is up to and what the Union is doing about it. All you have to do is talk to us; this might be via text, email, Facebook, Youtube or over lunch. In return we can promise that you won’t have to attend any stuffy meetings or get involved in anything you're not interested in!
Whether you are an armchair activist or a demonstration junkie, this is the group for you. Join us and help to transform you student experience in whatever way you want!
If you are interested in getting involved in any of the groups listed below please email amy.mclaughlan@bucks.ac.uk NOW!
