YUSU exists to promote and defend the educational and welfare interests of its membership and future membership, within the University and as part of the wider community. It also has over 250 clubs and societies and hosts a range of activities and events throughout the year for its members. The impact report shows the growth in YUSU’s range of activity and quality of impact on the student population. It demonstrates how the union is increasing its sphere of influence over the full breadth of the student experience. Increasingly we are supporting student employability, generating charitable fundraising for the community, providing employment opportunities for students, supporting student wellbeing, developing the college communities, providing a wider range of sporting opportunities and much more. The report reflects our performance over the second year of our three year strategic plan and shows a maturing organisation that is increasingly focused on measuring the impact it has on the lives of students. As we prepare to finish our plan and implement a new long term strategy we believe we have created a sound platform for building upon our successes. The YUSU Sabbatical Officers 2011 - 2012 introduction CELEBRATIONS 12 months ago in the YUSU impact report I talked about the wealth of potential and opportunity that I believed existed for us in 2011/12 while recognising the uncertainty that was created by changing fee yusu awards This year has seen levels of students engagement structures.

And yes, that is exactly what it is. After all, my inflated sense of self importance needs an outlet. Sit back, relax, and try not to get too annoyed if you haven’t been featured. Here are the 50 Best Twitter Feeds in York. 50. Stephen Harper @TheMeeves Stephen asked to be included in this list. He’s the Press & Publicity and Disabilities Officer for University of York Labour Club. Give him a follow. Or don’t. I’m not fussed. “People who've deleted me off Facebook are now connecting with me on LinkedIn… So I'm a shit friend but a good colleague then, is that it!? — Stephen Harper (@TheMeeves) September 7, 2015 ” 49. Uni of York Library @UoYLibrary Painfully dull, and updated with alarming regularity, I much prefer to pretend this account is a parody. Hats off to whoever is in charge of this page, they cannot be getting paid enough. Follow for pure unadulterated mundanity. “The lift in the Fairhurst building is out of order – the lift suppliers hope to fix it by tomorrow.
