Student Networks

Our way of making sure that students from liberation groups (such as women, students of colour, or students with disabilities) are able to run campaigns on issues that affect them specifically.

What are Networks?

Student networks are a way for marginalised groups to meet with each other, discuss issues that need to be raised through democratic structures at Keele SU and run student-led campaigns on important topics close to the heart of students.

Students can be involved with the networks as much as they like; you could do something as little as attending network socials or becoming one of your Network's Leads.

We have 7 Student Networks for this academic year; find out more below.

Become a Network Lead

The role of Network Lead is voluntary, which can go towards your volunteering hours, and you can choose how many hours you want to put in. There is also no limit on how many leads per network there can be; this is so the workload can be shared effectively amongst the Network.

As Network Leads, you will be expected to meet with other students from the networks, run campaigns & events on behalf of the network, work with other network leads and network administrators to discuss plans for the year and provide feedback on issues arising from the networks to your Union Assembly Delegates.

Applications to be a Network Lead for the next Academic year are now Open!
