Main Agenda
15. Funding approvals
16. You Are More Than ideas
17. Halls Website ideas/changes

We are hopefully employing an excel placement who will be looking at improving the Halls section of the SUSU wesbite.

 

Current ideas include...

 

 

Funding

-          Have an income and expenditure outline for each hall along with how much is left in their budget. It would also be good to have one for the Halls Committee Board for the overall budget

-          Have funding applications through the website rather on a Google Doc

 

File uploads

-          A section of the website where Halls Committees can upload and save files for future committees

 

Photos of Committees

-          A photo of each Halls Committee member as well as their contact details and a bit of information about them

 

Facebook extension

-          A dated and times Facebook feed on each Halls Committee page so that international students can read it without having to access Facebook

-          A few items (5?) would be good, to give as much information as possible

 

Halls Committee Groups Hub

-          Each Halls Committee to have a limited version of Groups Hub for the Halls Committee allowing them to…

o   Add events to the SUSU calendar

o   Personalise their page e.g. add photos, change their blurb etc.

o   View box office ticket sales

o   Put things on Box Office

 

Resources area.

-          Similar to Student Groups How To, but with different training guides, forms and documents

 

Merge the two pages

-          Merge the Student Groups Halls page with the Halls Life halls page so that the halls appear when people browse through the societies

 

Have a similar button to ‘Ask a question/make a change’

-          Maybe call it ‘Ask a question/ suggest an idea for your halls’

 

Halls Committee Email addresses

-          Have a generic email address for each hall

-          Be able to email all the students in halls with a newsletter from each committee

18. Drink Awareness Campaign

Currently have 2 volunteers, does anyone else want to join in with the working group? 

19. Culture Festival

Are any halls doing anything?

Would it be useful if we prepared a central event with marketing etc. which you could all individually run? e.g. cultural food sharing

20. Mayflower Courtyard Party
21. Transport for St Patrick's BNO event for Erasmus Park
22. Halls War

Michela from Private Rented Committee is running an event for chairty, it would be great if you could all promote it, the details are below

  • At Jesters
  • £3 for a ticket on Box Office
  • Breast Cancer Now and East African Playgrounf are the charities
  • Free doughnuts for the first 50 people
  • Free raffle prize with every ticket purchased

Could all committees please share this event and promote as much as possible.

23. Team building event

Facebook poll-

  • Most popular idea- Lazer Quest
  • Most common times- Saturday

Ideas

- do it after easter break

- do Lazer Quest and bowling combined

- Tuesday nights have a special student deal which makes lazer tag £3 and bowling (2 games) £6.50

- Could also go for a meal in JRC buffet another time? (people pay their own)

24. T-shirts
25. AOB
