Meetings This is the important bit and where you can create change....but don’t forget to be effective you need to prepare. Before the meeting Make sure you are up to date on what your students think. If you can, get your item(s) on the agenda (contact the person who is organising the meeting). If you can write a report for the meeting. If it is last minute, don’t panic, you should still have a chance to speak. If more than one Rep is attending, agree who will raise what. Is the National Student Survey on the agenda? If not, make sure it is, this is a handy way to back up points. Read the last meeting minutes, as a reminder of what happened last time. If you are not able to attend, let them know before the meeting. Contact us if you need any help! 11
