Hey There,
I'm Laura, VP Cheshire. over the past term i have been working hard to ensure students enjoy their experience at our Crewe campus. i have been working closely with Sanka, VP Student Activities Cheshire, to improve our 'I Love Wednesdays' nights and I have been liaising with the university to get funding for a new PA system for the Student Zone. There aren't many other venues around Crewe and many students find themselves travelling to nearby cities like Manchester and Liverpool, which isn't very cost effective on a student budget! We wanted to help improve their experience at university by bringing the different types of events to them so that they don't have to go looking for them elsewhere. We have already started giving student DJ's the opportuity to perform on a Wednesday night, and we have had live acts such as Goldierocks, P Money, and Ethan Ash. We hope that the new PA system will allow us to continue to put on these types of events and others more often.
we have liaised with the bar and catering staff from the university about the different events that they put on and asked students for their feedback on these to help them create better services. These include regular themed food nights where they set up a restaurant type environment in the Student ZOne with themes such as Pizza night, Mexican nights, Chicken night, Italian night, and they also hold a 'Curry and a pint' night on Thursdays.
I have been working on a drink aware campaign in Cheshire which promotes responsible drinknig and aims to reduce late night dispruption to other students and residents in the area. this term I am also aiming to run a Student Safety Week. This will incorporate all types of student safety, and aim to give advice and raise awareness on ways to stay safe and to help minimise the chances of students being victims of crime.
This term I will be researching the use of libraries in Crewe to find out if the students here would benefit from the longer opening hours, which have been introduced in Manchester.
