So, heres my final blog as your outgoing Postgraduate Officer. First, three updates on Postgrads who Teach, Postgraduate Welcome Week and social space in your Union. And then, one final take-away point on students relationship with their SU: [...] the fact remains that the SU isn’t “just” here to sell you a sandwich, a pint or a night out, and the university experience as a whole isn’t “just” one big quest for “value-for-money”, an internship or a well-paid graduate job. Both institutions stand for more than that. [...] As students at Warwick, we may live in what’s known as ‘The Bubble’, but that does not mean that we should exist in a vacuum. When presented with the opportunity to have our say, to contribute to the debate, to shake things up or to re-shape our community, we should seize the opportunity. Otherwise, someone else - whether that’s the University Senior Management with their own agenda or those unscrupulous voices from the grubbier end of student politics – will, in turn co-opting our voices to their cause. The Union is here to help you become more engaged – but you have to make the choice to get involved, to offer constructive suggestions for improvement, and to harness our representative power for real change. warwicksu/blogs/blog/lucygill/2014/07/07/The-End-of-the-Road-Final-Thoughts-on-this-Year/
