In pursuit of this aspiration we offer a wide range of services and facilities which are here for you as a member of Goldsmiths. We work in partnership with the College to ensure that you have fantastic, transformative experiences during your time at Goldsmiths.

But what is unique about us is that all the activities we coordinate, are led by you. The Union is led by students who are elected annually by you, to represent your views to the College and oversee the wide range of services and facilities we provide.

What is Goldsmiths Students’ Union?

Each area of the Union works slightly differently, and this guide gives you all the information you need to make choices about what, where and when to get involved according to your needs and interests.

An important principle of how the Union works is that everything we produce is constantly invested back into more and better support for you. We call this Full Circle.

Goldsmiths SU is a charitable organisation whose mission is to:

INSPIREEMPOWERSTUDENTS

TO CHANGE

THE WORLD

&“

”

For more information, register with us online at goldsmithssu.org


As a student at Goldsmiths you are

represented by four full-time officers who

work within the Students’ Union. We are

elected by you on a yearly basis through

an election in which every student can

vote. This means you have the power

to steer and control the future of the

Students’ Union by choosing the officers

you feel best represent you.

As full-time officers we represent you on

varying levels both within the Union and

within the College. We sit on a number

of College committees, alongside

senior College staff, representing the

student voice in key matters involving

the future of Goldsmiths. We also work

on a number of projects ranging from

improving campus facilities to providing

students with academic advice and

campaigning on the issues which directly

affect you.

Throughout the year we will be utilising

our direct access to senior figures within

the College, and our forums (such as the

student assembly) for open discussion to

make sure that the quality of education

and services constantly exceed your

expectations.

Hi, I’m Samson and I am this year’s Students’ Union President. I’ll be representing you and the rest of the student body on various Goldsmiths committees, ensuring your views are heard and they influence the decision makers within the College. This year the tuition fees will be tripling and as such I’ll be working to ensure you get what you want in terms of the quality of education you receive, and a guaranteed increase in employment options when you graduate.

Hi, my name is Conrad and I am your Campaigns Officer. Throughout this year I’ll be working to promote and coordinate the various campaigns which the Union will be undertaking. I’m a friendly and empathetic person who understands the various situations students experience during University so you’re always welcome to pop in to the office for a chat. Whatever campaigning ideas you may have, please don’t hesitate to speak to me.

Hi, I’m Søren (rhymes with burn) and I’ll be your Education Officer for 2012-13. I’ve been elected on the basis of fighting cuts and course closures and I’m going to be talking to as many people as possible to get them involved. I might be opinion-ated, but that won’t stop me working with people to build big movements. You should also come and see me if you have any problems with your education that you want to discuss.

Hello! I’m Tama, your Welfare & Diversity Officer. This year promises to be an exciting one with lots of events and opportunities. This Autumn I’ll be launching our liberation campaigns 2012-13, as well as organising awareness campaigns around mental and sexual health, housing rights and the vicious cuts to our public services. If you’re interested in getting involved or if you have ideas for things you would like to see happen - don’t hesitate to come and say hello!

Our biggest piece of advice is to try out as much as you possibly can, fi nd what you care about and dedicate yourself to those things.

Making the most of your time here can range from experiencing all the exciting things London has to offer, becoming President of the volleyball team, experiencing voluntary sector work - and anything in between. Read on or visit us online to fi nd out more.

TrainingBoth recreational and competitive sessions are coached by qualified coaches. There is also the option for students to train and take qualifications to become coaches (or officials), leading to paid work for the teams / clubs.

Recreational TeamsThese sports teams usually train on campus twice a week. There is always the option for individuals from these clubs to compete in competitions if they wish.

Competitive TeamsThese sports teams take part in weekly leagues and cups, or stand alone competi-tions, against other institutions at either a local or national level. The football teams play twice a week in University leagues, while the ju-jitsu team competes twice a year in national competitions. In recent years, we have won leagues, cups and com-petitions in a number of sports including volleyball, cheerleading and ju-jitsu. We’ve also had teams competing at the highest level in other areas such as athletics, judo and karate.

Getting involved in sports is a fantastic way to meet people and stay fit while at university. The great thing about sports at Goldsmiths is that beginners as well as experienced players are welcome and encouraged to join.

Goldsmiths sports are student-led, meaning you, the students, plan, organise and compete gaining fantastic skills and knowledge along the way. Also, if you find we are not currently offering something that you would like to take part in, you can get in touch with us and we will support you in creating the sports club you would like.

We offer two different types of sports memberships.SPORTS

VarsityOur teams compete annually for the Varsity Cup against our sporting rivals, the University of the Arts, London! This day of sports, in which nine or more teams compete against their Arts counterparts, is always fiercely contested. The winning Students’ Union takes the Varsity Cup for that year - and, of course, the bragging rights!

You can join all of the sports and societies either online, at the Freshers’ Fayre or in the SU offices. To join online please go to goldsmithssu.org/sports.

Currently Active Sports Clubs


Societies are student organised groups which meet frequently and put on events where like-minded individuals can get together and discuss or participate in their interests.

We have a huge selection of societies that is constantly growing and changing as students with different interests start new societies. Joining a society is a great way to meet like-minded people, to learn and try new things and share enthusiasm with other students.

The societies here often run events and trips, some locally, others further afield. The Drama Society, for example, often visit the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Be sure to come to the Freshers’ Fayre on the 26th & 27th of September to get more information and meet the society Presidents and members.

Campaigns are one of the SU’s core activities to help bring about change throughout Goldsmiths and further afield. We have a reputation for well-run campaigns and we will continue to fight for the rights of students especially in light of increased tuition fees. See below for some of the campaigns that are currently running, or find out more on goldsmithssu.org/campaigns

Be Pro-Active, Not Reactive Continuing from last year, ‘Be Pro-Active, Not Reactive’ is an employability campaign that seeks to raise awareness of work opportunities and methods that students can use to enhance their skills and employability during their time at University.

United Against Austerity October 20th 2012 - The Trade Union Congress (the umbrella organisation that works to defend the rights of several smaller Unions and their workers) will hold a mass demonstration in London to fight against the cuts and reduced public spending, sending out the clear message that we are against the Government attack on the public sector. Together we will be battling to secure a better future for the unemployed and young people of our country.

NUS Anti-Cuts MarchNovember 21st 2012 - the NUS (National Union of Students) has organised a national demonstration against cuts, fees, student debt and privatisation. Thousands will march on parliament to protect education for all members of our society despite the government’s efforts to exclude various social groups.

Be A Star This year we want to shine light on the activities of the sports teams like never before. We will keep you updated on the sports teams and its members’ performances over the course of the year showing you who the real stars of the Goldsmiths sports teams are. Get involved and be the Star!

The Leopard NewspaperFor those who are keen to cover a wide range of subjects related to university life, getting involved with The Leopard is the way forward!

MEDIASTUDENT

Wired RadioWired is undergoing restructuring this year, with everything from the website to the studio being overhauled and brought up to the standard Goldsmiths deserves! It will launch during Freshers’ Week and invites those of all abilities and experience to join in the reincarnation of the station. Have a poke around www.wiredradio.co.uk or email station manager Kieren Hennessy at [email protected] for more information.

Goldsmiths TVIf you are interested in broadcasting and creating exciting video content for Goldsmiths TV, contact us on [email protected].

More information on the channel will become available during Freshers’ Week.

Goldsmiths is known for its dedication to creativity and cultural research, so what better way to share our views, knowledge and talent than through student media? Getting involved with us is an excellent way to experience the world of media and communications. Whether you are dedicated to starting a career in journalism, or radio presenting is something you’d like to try out in your spare time, student media is where to start.


Goldsmiths Students’ Union is run by students for students. Each year we run elections and the successful candidates take on the responsibility of representing more than 9000 students. Four full-time officers are elected each year and spend the year working in the Union representing the student voice. Each officer is either a current student, who takes a year out of their studies, or a graduate who stood for election in their final year.

There are also many volunteer part-time officers who make up the Student Assembly, a democratic forum of debate where all students are welcome to bring forward proposed changes, and then vote on them.

Both the full-time and certain part-time officers have seats on key Goldsmiths decision making committees, meaning that your representatives really can influence change not only to the Union but to the College itself. Their influence doesn’t stop there, full- and part-time officers both go further afield in their capacity as your representatives taking your views to national forums of debate.

All positions offer great experience and will bolster even the strongest CV.

What is Student Assembly?As mentioned before, the Student Assembly is a student-led forum put in place so that every student can suggest and influence key policies that shape the Union. The Assembly is held five times a year and is attended by all full- and part-time officers who give updates on current projects. In this way, it allows the student body to monitor and hold to account the officers they elected. This arena is also the home of change, where any student can bring forward a motion (an agenda of action, for the Union to act on) and where every student is free to vote for or against these motions. The Assembly is dependant on students to bring forward motions and to hold the officers to account – if you want to see change in the Union, this is the place to make it happen.

How do elections work?Every year students are elected to fill both the full- and part-time positions available within the Union. These students are in place to make sure the Union remains student-focused and student-led. Elections are won and lost through two elements;

The Manifesto - A document which outlines what that student envisions for their year in office.

The Campaign - A week-long campaign during the voting period in which you get the chance to go out and speak to students, letting them know what your plans are (if you get elected) and convincing them that you are the right person for the job.

Whether you are running or just voting, using your Union and sharing your views will change student life for the better.

We know that from time to time everyone needs a little help, advice and support. Whether it’s resolving issues with a private landlord or if you fi nd you have problems with your course, we’re here to assist and advise you. All our advice is free and con-fi dential and our advisor previously worked for the Citizens Advice Bureau, so has a wealth of experience dealing with a wide range of issues.

WELFAREACADEMICADVICE

&

Academic AdviceFor most, studying at University is largely incident-free, but some students occasionally find themselves in trouble with the University. Whether it is a single misunderstanding or a long-running dispute, we are here to provide students with support and advice. This ensures the decisions taken by Goldsmiths are fair and that students can understand what their options are.

Academic advice can range from guidance on switching courses, to help if you have been accused of plagiarism. For help, advice and information contact Limahl MacFarlane, the Advice Services Coordinator or Søren Goard, the Education Officer.

WelfareEvery now and again students fall on hard times - and as a Students’ Union we are here to see you through them. Help and advice can range from support from our contract checking service if you are looking for housing, or just hearing from the full-time officer team on how they budgeted during their time as students. In addition, we can also support struggling students with hardship loans should they need a small amount of money to tide them over.

If you feel like University life is getting too much and you need someone to talk to, we have a confidentiality room which you can use at any time. Come and use our phone to make course-related calls or view our extensive information library which covers a range of welfare-related issues. If you have a problem, no matter how small, our dedicated Welfare & Diversity Officer Tama White can help or refer you to College services.

What is a DSC?Departmental Student Coordinators (DSCs) are regarded as ‘Super Course Representatives’ - they work collectively to provide a positive impact on their programme of study by representing the views of their students to their department, the College and the Students’ Union.

Your Departmental Student Coordinator is there to represent you, your academic interests and can help you initiate change or get your voice heard. The Union has DSCs for undergraduate as well as postgraduate courses. To fi nd out who your DSC is and to get in touch, please visit goldsmithssu.org/dsc.

Becoming a DSCIf you think you can initiate change, communicate effectively with students and staff, and deliver results throughout the year, then you could be just the person we’re looking for. Each department has a staff member who is responsible for the Programme Monitoring and Representation scheme and all DSCs will receive full training and development from the Students’ Union.

There are positions for undergraduate and postgraduate students in all departments to work as part of a team of 50 who help promote quality and representation across the whole of Goldsmiths. Undergraduate recruitment tends to happen around March, whereas the recruitment of postgraduate DSCs occurs in October. Applications usually open after Easter and those selected will receive an annual bursary of £400.

Check the website for more details on who your DSCs are, and how you can become a DSC.

NURSERY

We run a small nursery for children of students and staff aged from 3 months up to 5, and it is one of the best in the local area. Children are typically only accepted if they will be booked in for a minimum of two days a week to ensure that there is continuity and children can develop friendships.

The nursery is open from 8.30am to 5.30pm and fees are £55 per day, but Government grants and the College childcare bursary (set up following pressure by the SU) means that costs are normally considerably lower for students. More details, including the form which needs to be completed before you can join the waiting list, are available at www.goldsmithssu.org/nursery.

Please note that the nursery is almost fully booked for the coming year, however places do become available as children get older, and Nursery Manager Karen Roe will have details of other good-quality local childcare providers if we don’t have a space available for you.

Promoting property professionally

This is an advert.

180 New Cross Road has been home to Parkers Estate agents for decades, and was bought by Nick Luddington 13 years ago. Honest and always a character, Nick and his business partner Dee are renowned locally for helping Goldsmiths students find comfortable, affordable living.

Nick and Dee’s local knowledge is called upon by students from Goldsmiths, London College of Communication, Kings, Laban and of course Goldsmiths’ Varsity rivals - The University of the Arts.

The best time to start the property hunt is early Summer Term with houses usually being snapped up quickly. Expect to move in within six weeks, so bear this in mind. If you have any concerns feel free to book an appointment with Dee or Nick.

Come down and check out Parkers at Refreshers’ Fayre to get a head-start in finding a new home in New Cross.
