What are networks?
UWLSU Networks are community groups within your SU to help you connect with other students, create opportunities and address equality gaps in different groups of our student body. They exist to make positive change that will improve your experience – for anyone that identifies as a member of each community
Networks consist of:
- Affiliated Student Groups – some students groups are informally affiliated to a Network and whose activity aligns with a Network’s values and aims. Like Networks, Student Groups are also part of UWLSU
- Network Leads – Network Leads are students who work closely with the Community and Engagement Team as volunteers to help us shape events and campaigns focused on the particular network.
Networks help us to ensure we are acting with liberation and inclusion in mind. Our Networks recognise the intersections of identity, and it is possible to self-define into one, some, or all our Networks. Networks can collaborate to achieve positive and powerful change for their respective communities.
We collaborate with the Networks to celebrate liberation days and months throughout the year in partnership with UWL, Societies and Sports Teams. These can include Black History Month, Disability History Month, Trans Awareness Week, Women’s History Month and LGBTQ+ History Month.
If you have any questions about any of our Networks, please email su.networks@uwl.ac.uk
