Hello,

There are many ways you can get your voice heard at Sussex, and we actively encourage your feedback. 

We had a fantastic number of post-graduate students who took part in the Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey. Your responses will help shape the future for other postgraduate students, so a big thank you to all who took part. 

The University was also recently shortlisted for the Cost of Living Award at the Whatuni Student Choice Awards, based on our £2 subsidised meal initiative – a direct result of student feedback! 

We are currently looking for your views on our online magazine, Flint. We would love to hear what you think about Flint - the content, the format, and even the name! We’ve put together a short survey that only takes five minutes – take the survey.  

Head to the Student Hub to keep up with opportunities for sharing your views. 
 
Read on for this week’s update, including:

Outstanding work of academic and professional services recognised at Sussex Education Awards 

The sun came out to celebrate the Sussex Education Awards on Thursday 4 May, and it was an honour to be co-hosting the event with our Vice-Chancellor, Professor Sasha Roseneil. 

Every year we ask our students to nominate staff who they think deserve to be recognised for the amazing work that they do in supporting the student experience. We saw nearly 300 nominations and gave out almost 30 awards to people across academic and professional services. 

Read all about the event and see the full list of winners in this news story.  
 

Inclusive Sussex: In Conversation event, featuring Professor Tom Shakespeare CBE FBA
