 Hi everyone, welcome to SOAS. My name is Emily and I'm the Student Engagement Officer for Student Voice and I want to talk to you about how your voice is a key part of your university experience. Our mission is to include, support and empower you, our students as partners of your education experience. With our student rep network, which is run by our amazing students union, you can become a course or a department rep, learning and engaging with your peers and university staff. Students elect these reps at the start of the year, so you will receive more information soon in your inbox. If you can't wait, check out the SU website. We also run student experience forums. These are open to all students, where we will discuss your institutional priorities to help improve your student experience. During these forums, staff will be on hand to hear students' views and discuss actions to improve and feedback on throughout the year. Throughout the academic year, there is opportunity to get involved in focus groups and consultations. You can also give your feedback through the national surveys, as well as your module evaluations each term. Your suggestions are vital to us at SOAS and we make sure we tell you how your feedback is acted upon. What you tell us feeds into improvement plans of your department and across the university, so you'll have a direct impact. If you want to know more, you can contact us at studentfeedbackatsoas.ac.uk or you can come and see us in the student hub on the lower ground floor of the Paul Weveley wing. We look forward to seeing you soon.
