Hello, and welcome. Thank you for taking an interest in joining Greenwich Students’ Union (GSU).
We are the students' union for the University of Greenwich. We are a thriving organisation, working for and with students based at three campuses in London and Kent.
Our new strategy, GSU Plan 2026, lays out our new goal - we want students to become their best at Greenwich and beyond.
As with many organisations, the Covid-19 pandemic presented challenges for us. However, we pivoted and realigned our services quickly in March 2020 to ensure that students - our members - were fully supported and could access everything from advice to activities from wherever they were. This work continued throughout the 2020/21 academic year, taking the learnings as we went along and using them in the moment to improve our offer, and to plan our next strategy for 2021 onwards.
Key services and projects we've delivered over the past 24 months include:
- Changing our Advice Service offer to offer an online triage service, and delivering appointments online to ensure students could still talk to our Advisers.
- Making our outlets at Avery Hill and Greenwich Covid-safe and introducing new services and offers including online click-and-collect service.
- Welcome programmes in September 2020 and January 2021, offering a range of in-person* and/or online events.
- An award-nominated Wellbeing and Retention Project, where we were commissioned by the University to recruit and train Student Ambassadors to deliver phone call wellbeing checks to every Greenwich student.
- Engagement project at the Avery Hill campus with a dedicated manager role to improve the community amongst students living and/or studying there.
- Online events through our Academic Communities project, a new recreational sport programme called GSUmove, and supporting our vast range of student groups to run digital events.
*Where possible, and with all necessary Covid safety considerations.
