Needs Assessment: Identify key gaps in visibility, engagement, and service access for Bay students.

Visibility and Engagement: Explore options for increased physical presence, events, and communications on Bay Campus.

Monitoring and Accountability: Set expectations for review and reporting on progress once the motion is passed.

Measures of Success

Improved Visibility: Increased awareness of SU services and officers on Bay Campus.

Student Feedback: Positive feedback from Bay Campus students regarding representation and access.

Progress to Date – Early Development (End of Term 1)

• Early identification of the need for increased Union presence on Bay Campus.

• Student experience considerations being gathered to inform development.

Progress to Date – In Progress (Semester 2 - Winter Term)

Myself and the Education Officer have curated a comprehensive document outlining key issues raised through student feedback, including RepCon, surveys, Helpdesk data, and forums. This has been presented to Senior Leadership Team and raised with Estates to highlight key concerns and areas for improvement.

Further work is planned, including presenting findings to the Bay Campus Experience Group next term to support continued progress and accountability.
