Are You Okay? – DSU Support (including sports and societies)

We know that this year has been an exceptional one for our students, so we have joined forces with De Montfort Students’ Union (DSU) to support its ‘Are You Okay?’ campaign.

We want to let you know that we are here, we are listening and we want to support you as much as we can to have the best student experience possible while you’re with us.

Throughout the academic year, you can tell us how you are feeling by filling out the Are You Okay? survey. Academic Executive Officer, Laura Flowers has already made changes based on the results.

Each week of the campaign will have a different theme. This week the focus will be on the support services provided by DSU, including sports and societies.

Enter our competition and you could win an iPad!

Tomorrow (Tuesday 8 December) we will be running a competition* on our @dmuleicester Instagram and Twitter account with an iPad up for grabs as the prize. To find out more about how to enter, keep an eye on our Instagram stories and Twitter tomorrow.

The competition will close on Friday 12 December and the winner will be announced in the student newsletter on Monday morning.
