SUEi

SUEi (pronounced soo-ey) stands for Student Union Evaluation Initiative.

It is basically an accreditation scheme that assesses how well a Student Union is performing in a variety of areas, including representation, reputation, innovation and fun. The Unions are then awarded a Working Towards, Blue, Silver or Gold award depending on how good they are.

Myself, Lizzy, Jo Thomas (our GM) and Nick Bailey (our Finance Manager) spent the day in London on Wednesday with reps from the rest of the First Cohort to learn about how we are going to get assessed, early next Semester.

SUEi is a brand new scheme and we are among the first six Unions who will participate and be awarded accreditation, therefore we are providing ideas and input that will ultimately help shape the scheme.

By March, we will discover what award we achieve. I'll keep you all posted as ever :)
