Speak Week 2025

Mon, 17 Nov 2025 14:52:13 Z

Speak Week is the one week in the year when SRUC has to stop and listen. Students tell us what’s working, what’s a slog, and what needs to put right. Last year you were clear about food prices, chaotic timetables, long commutes, cold rooms, and teaching that can be brilliant one day and baffling the next. None of that gets fixed unless it’s said out loud. That’s why Speak Week matters. Fill out a card or the online survey and make sure your experience is part of the picture, not left out of it.
