We need your help
We are working on a new strategic plan and we'd love your input! We’ve already had lots of feedback from Challenge US and our Fill US In survey and we want even more.
This event will bring together staff and students to get everyone’s ideas for what the Students’ Union should be doing over the next three years to better support Christ Church students.
The first 30 students at the event will get a £15 Love To Shop voucher plus lunch will be provided for everybody.
Come and tell us your ideas this Thursday 21 January 12-2pm in The Lounge.
