SU Talent Month

 

 

Following an extensive three-month planning process, the SU Talent Month is a culmination of events showcasing student talent from all of the USW campuses.

 

 

What is SU Talent Month?

This year the SU has tried something very different, where our students were at the heart of the initiative. The six multi-campus events went through the whole of February, with events from live music acts to a film showcase to a live art exhibition. All the events were hosted by your very own USW students, all from different backgrounds of study and campuses. The SU Talent Month was a fantastic way for students to collaborate with others that they may never have thought to have networked.

 

 

What did we set out to achieve?

The SU wanted to provide students with the chance to collaborate and network beyond their field of study. Using informal events to stimulate this message. As a SU, we are constantly challenged to how we have our students’ academic interest in what we do, therefore this campaign ticks all the boxes. We want to provide students with multiple routes to gain employability skills in a real-world setting whilst having fun at the same time.
