Events & Activities
Events & Activities 2018/19
This year, Events and Activities hosted several events across Wolverhampton, Walsall and Telford
Campuses. To achieve this, we worked in collaboration with Accommodation Services, WLV Gym,
External Relations, Cool It Events and the student community; to run a diverse range of events and
activities that covered the awareness raising campaigns such as LGBTQ+ Awareness Month and “feel
good” events such as karaoke evenings .
We also arranged our annual Freshers Fayres at both Wolverhampton and Walsall. Here, we saw just
over 6,000 members of our University community join us to find out what’s on offer both on campus and
around our wider community.
The SU Bar and Café based within our Walsall Students’ Union continued to be the home for our
Weekly Quiz, which came directly from student feedback on campus. The quiz has continued to grow
from strength to strength, receiving great support and bringing in a large number of students each
week to help create that community feel across the campus and within student accommodations.
Campus has also been brought alive in the evening with many events both solely led by the Students’
Union such as SU Live as well as collaborative efforts with Sports Socials and charity events that have
been devised and led by students on campus.
We have continued partnership working with University colleagues to enhance the campus
experience, adding to our diverse menu of activities on offer to students. These have included
family friendly half-term Fun Days, Christmas celebrations, and an outdoor cinema event.
