RMIT University Student Union Third Quarter Report
RMIT University Student Union Third Quarter Report Reporting Period: 1 July – 30 September 2017 RMIT UNIVERSITY STUDENT UNION President’s Report What a massive quarter for the RMIT University Student Union! This period is always an exciting one for RUSU, as it means it’s election time - a fantastic opportunity for students to express what kind of leadership and direction they want from their student union. The election was hard-fought, as usual, but fair, as always. This year saw a significant increase in the number of votes posted from last year, a sure sign that students are actively aware of RUSU but also that students across RMIT’s campuses are being heard. We look forward to welcoming a new group of student advocates later in the year, and we can’t wait to see what kind of energy they bring. Speaking of RMIT’s various campuses, we have seen great progress this quarter in our engagement plan for Point Cook. We are now proudly running a free regular lunch event at Point Cook, something students attending this campus have missed out on for a long time! Bundoora has seen a huge amount of events and activities this quarter, as has Brunswick. We’re really pleased with the way RUSU has engaged with these outer campuses, and it’s a great credit to the staff and student representatives who work with and represent these particular student communities. On the City campus, RUSU was proud to open our new activity space in the NAS precinct. Located just beneath our new front office, the space will give our clubs and departments the room to hold large-scale events and training sessions that would not be possible in our other spaces.
