Student Association

Whether you want to have your say, get involved with fundraising and event planning or just attend social events, the Student Association is here to make your time at Riseholme special.

Our Student Association is for everyone!

Mix with students from all courses (both college and university level) and all ages to work together and help make student life exciting and inclusive.

It represents your voice. It is a social society and a force for good. If you’re not happy with something or want to suggest a change, the Student Association's Student Leadership Committee is there for you.

The Student Association can help you to:

Give back and raise money for charities
Make your student experience as fun as it can be
Build a range of skills that employers value by being part of the Student Leadership Committee

Check out the Student Association's Facebook page to see details and photos from past events and let us know if you have any ideas.

Student Leadership Committee

The Student Leadership Committee (SLC), which administers the Student Association, is made up of students from across both campuses and from different courses - from loud extroverts to quieter students. We have a diverse student population and we want the SLC to represent everyone.

Are you enthusiastic? Committed? Ambitious? Dedicated to ensuring student voices are heard? Do you want to gain leadership experience and add to your CV? Whether you are a college or university level student, we want to hear from you!

Being part of the SLC also helps you gain valuable skills and experience to include on your CV.

The SLC hold a formal meeting on a fortnightly basis to discuss standard agenda items, event ideas and planning, as well as any additional items brought by committee members or wider members of the Student Association (student population). The committee is often asked to vote on important issues.
