Here is my report that was for development committee on the 22nd January
Looking back to my manifesto pledges that I made this time last year
· New employability skills workshops
We have run RU Ready sessions that look at employability skills such as presentation skills
· Help selecting the workshops that fit your needs
I still have not designed a questionnaire for this but as part of the big push for RU Ready training this term
· Intensive Workshops at the end of summer term
I have had discussions with Sam about what needs to be done for this.
· More community volunteering
RUSU placed 80 students in voluntary placements in the community last term
· Expansion of the current RU Ready Scheme
We have run more RU ready sessions than last year such as RU ready to manage your time
· Continued support for volunteer groups
Hopefully I’ve supported you all please shout if I haven’t

Plans for Spring Term
So moving on what are my plans for this term. This looks like a busy term as always but an exciting one,
We’re going to run RU Ready training again this term, but on a slimmed down agenda with one session a week with lots more publicity and really get it off the ground, We’re also going to run some give it a go sessions every other week to give students a chance to do things they wouldn’t normally try these are still being sorted out but when they’re finalised I’ll let you know.
This term is obviously elections term so will be a busy term especially as I’m a candidate. The sabbatical roles are changing for more info and to comment on the proposed changes then look at http://www.rusu.co.uk/DisplayPage.asp?pageid=21094
We’ve got RAG Week and South East Area NUS Rag day which will be good and I’m looking forward to working with the new RAG committee and would like to say a big thank you to last years RAG committee headed up by Julia for all their hard work this year.
We’ve got Re-Fresher’s fair coming up in week 3 which gives you a chance to get involved with things you’ve not already done or if you missed out on something last term come and have a look and sign up again.
We’re going to have several days of community action which will give students an opportunity to get involved and take part in some voluntary action in the community as a one off day rather than having to commit for the whole term .
Week 8 will be a volunteers week and will give us a chance to showcase all the work that our volunteers do, culminating with the volunteers and society’s bash on the Thursday 8th march so put it in your diary’s it will be bigger and better than ever before.
I have taken over the running of the women’s campaign and would like to hand this over to a student’s women’s officer by the end of the term hopefully with some interactive events this term.

Autum 2006
I would like to start this blog with apologising for the lack of blog’s over the last term, I don’t think I’d realised before term started quite how busy it would be and how much that I would struggle to find time to blog, so one of my new years resolutions is to blog more. In this one I will tlak about last term and then will post a new one about next term.
Last term started with a shock announcement from the university about the closure of physics but it set a trend for the next term. Then there was Freshers week which was a busy week but some of the highlights for me were the busy society’s day and then a busy Friday day. We had a record number of people interested in the MASIV, RU Ready and community volunteering. The next week kicked off with spark in a day and Junction11 in day. This was the 1st time we’ve run Junction11 in a day and we had lots of people attend which was really positive.
The term just seemed to continue with a big push for the national demo, I was upset that I couldn’t be there for the beginning but it was amazing standing on the side of the river waiting and watching the demo go passed and joining the reading group. Then the next major campaign was the fight to keep physics open at reading the physics students put up an excellent fight one of the best moments of this campaign was sitting with the UCU staff members whilst university council was going on and them telling us that it was the best fight they had seen for a course closer for a long time apart from Sussex where they overturned the decision.
Other highlights of the term include making sure that spark got published with out any major hiccups, the masqurAID ball run by campaigns forum,
hearing that the RAG total for the last year totalled over £10,000, training over 50 course reps and running faculty rep training for the first time, being involved in writing the university’s teaching and learning strategy which means that we can shape how the university delivers teaching and learning for the next 5 years, hearing that we’ve managed to place over 80 students in community volunteering placements, having a record number of students (260) enrolled on the MASIV scheme.
It has been a busy but amazing term I have learnt a lot about the university, RUSU and my self and am looking forward to the next term with excitement.
