University of Sheffield Union of Students
Strategic Plan for 2009 – 2012
Why do we exist? (Our mission)
To act in the interests of all our members
What do we want to be? (Our Vision)
The outstanding student led organisation in the UK
What will this look like by 2012 (Our Strategy)
Three themes will be the key drivers for the work of the Students’ Union between now and 2012.
The key themes are:
- We will be driven by students, supported by staff
- We will be more than a building
- We will have a landmark new building
Across the three themes, we have eight strategic goals. Follow the "more info" links to read more about these goals or download the pdf of this strategic plan (PDF 1.1MB)
This plan sets out why the Students’ Union exists, where the Students’ Union wants to be in the future, and our ambitious goals which will make us an even better Students’ Union for current and future students.
Setting out the Students’ Union’s priorities in this way will give our students a sense of the direction we want to take and enable them to hold us to account over the next three years.
The plan will also guide our departments, teams and individuals in their planning, and will enable any member of staff to see how their own day to day work supports the Students’ Union’s overall vision, and to understand the value of their own contribution to its success.
There has been extensive consultation with both students and staff about the direction of the Students’ Union and the feedback is reflected in the final plan.
Should you wish to make any further comments or want to find out more about what is in the plan, don’t hesitate to contact the Student Officers on 0114 2228609 or email vision2012@sheffield.ac.uk.
