BIG WIN!
A massive part of my manifesto was working alongside the university for the extended opening hours of Augustine House. Both myself and David Hannaway (Union President) were elected on the mandate of ensuring the library was open when our students needed it. Results from Challenge Us, Fill Us In and the National Student Survey (NSS) found that 24 hour library during key assessment times was a service that our students wanted. Our own research throughout the summer found that November and December were these key assessment times where 24 hour library was not currently provided.
We are delighted that after taking our data to the Students’ Union and University Partnership Forum (SUUPF) we have had the library hours extended to 24 hours throughout the months of November and December!
We hope you are happy with this and that it eases your stress throughout November and December.
