KCLSU

VP’s blog, stardate: 24080.7

Over half of August has passed already, and I’ve not blogged yet, which is incredibly bad form and I do humbly apologise. But in all honesty I have been incredibly busy, and not just with trying to find lame jokes to put in this first blog. I’ve spent much of the last few weeks realising that “life long learning” is not just one of those cool buzzwords used by those in the education sector, but it is in fact very much true. Much of my short time in office has been spent learning about how our trustee board works, the responsibilities I have in terms of health and safety, how the college functions, and the role I play in trying to make all your wishes come true, amongst many other things. My tiny little brain has already overheated, and to be honest, I worry whether it’ll survive the year!

In the midst of this I’ve been working with KCLSU staff on two key areas - improving the ways we communicate with students, and using previous consultations with students and Student Council to examine the issues that really affect students and that KCLSU will lobby College on over the next three years. I expect you will hear a lot more about this in the future though.

As for communications? We’ve been beavering away on a KCLSU events page on facebook, improved signage, video blogs, using friendlier language, and of course, good old face to face chatting, which is often ignored in these geeky, technological times of ours. I’m also excited by the imminent re-launch of roar magazine (which will now be monthly), roar online, and also by podcasting. If you’re interested in getting involved in any of these projects, have any gripes, or simply want to find out more about KCLSU and what we do; send me an email, give me a call, or just say hi when you see me out and about. My door is always open.

Go well and go safely.

Pete
