Student Advisory Panel Member

Have your say on university strategy to support equality of opportunity for our students, by joining our Student Advisory Panel.
We're looking for students who are keen to feedback on their university experience and provide constructive feedback to staff across the university teams about plans to improve student experience through focus-group style meetings. Your input will help shape university policy through our Access and Participation Plan strategy that staff across student support services and academic teaching use to provide the best teaching, learning and support for underrepresented students.
We'll meet monthly up to 9 times a year online with any in person-meetings away from your campus of study reasonable travel expenses reimbursed. Timings of meetings will try to accommodate best availability of students around study and home commitments. Mandatory paid training will be provided for successful candidates.
We're focusing on groups of students we've identified need more support at different stages from applying to university through to progressing on from graduation. These include care leavers and estranged students, black British students, mature students (aged 21+ on entry), students eligible for free school meals in the last 6 years of their secondary education, students in receipt of the Cumbria Bursary and students with disabilities (including those with a disclosed mental health condition). Do you fit these criteria? We would love to hear from you, and if successful, would be reimbursed for your time. We are recruiting up to 16 students and to ensure we have a balance of representation across the panel.
