Are you the next Community Hall Rep?
This is a brand new initiative created by the Students’ Union in partnership with UCLan’s Accommodation Service to increase participation and involvement within Halls.
Community Hall Reps are representatives for exactly that, your Halls! They set up social events, as well as acting as the key student point of contact within their Halls for the Campaigns Officer and Student Accommodation Services. We will help you set up regular events with at least one a semester. This could include inter-Halls competitions, socials etc.
You will be the first point of call for Students within the Halls you represent. This will mean that feedback will count more than ever and you could be the person to create change that will be in effect for many years to come. The power will be in hands of the Students, and you’ll be leading the charge.
Key Responsibilities
• Communicate between students and the SU/University
• Create social opportunities within your Halls
• Liaise with other Halls Reps to share ideas
