2 October: Having Your Voice Heard at the OU and Introducing the Student Charter
Location: At home / online Duration: One off Dedication: 1-3 hours
Posted on:
Part of Welcome Week 2025.
Student voice is an integral part of OU life. Students have a role in improving the learning experience at the OU.
In this session, we will share with you what student voice looks like at the OU, how you can get involved and share just some of the ways students have had a positive impact at the OU. We will also ask for ideas on what you’d like to give feedback on, how you’d like to give feedback and how we can communicate the impact of your feedback with all students.
We will also introduce you to the Student Charter, which is a statement of values for our OU community of students and staff from across our four nations and beyond. In this session, we will introduce you to the recently reviewed and updated Student Charter and get your ideas on how the Student Charter should be shared with students throughout their OU journeys.
2 October, 13:00-14:00 BST. Sign up by clicking "Find Out More" below.
