collegecommittee
Do you want to make a difference to your education? Then join the College Committee! There are two positions open to new students. If you're interested then pop into Student Engagement in The Little Space to find out how to put yourself up for election.
You will:
- Work with the Students' Union and lead on the Freshers' Fair and events throughout the year
- Have the opportunity to be elected as a Student Governor, attending monthly Governors' meetings
- Represent students at a range of College and Union meetings
- Work with Course Reps to ensure that the student voice is heard
Your College Committee represents the student population on the board of governors. We support Course Reps in taking your views forward and we help to support you with social and fundraising events. We also work with the Student Union Exec to promote and enhance the facilities available to you.
fundraising
Loughborough College and Loughborough Student Union's RAG actively encourage learners to get involved with fundraising so that we can raise as much money for charity as possible.
There are special events such as Children in Need, Sport Relief and Comic Relief to get involved with. Students can also arrange a collection of 'gifts in kind' e.g. food for the homeless, items for animal rescue centres etc.
Our job is to help you think through your plans and to make sure all the legal aspects, such as Health and Safety, are covered. We can also support you with practical issues such as fundraising equipment, booking a stall etc.

coursereps
Last year we had 226 Course Reps working across the College, so why don’t you put yourself forward and join this network! If you want to become a Rep, just let your tutor know before elections. It's a great opportunity for you to get involved in developing what the College has to offer and your input will have an impact now and on future generations to come. You will receive training from the Student Union and you will be asked to attend two Course Rep conferences throughout the year to support you with your role. This will look great on your CV and will allow you to demonstrate your skills to employers and universities.
Being a Course Rep provides many training opportunities and allows you to improve your leadership, communication and negotiation skills. Course Reps represent the views of students at course meetings and tackle issues that matter. You will be invited to attend Student Forum meetings and conferences throughout the year to discuss changes that would make the College a better place. This will involve working with the College Committee and College Management.
