THE SU BIG PLAN 2022-23

Using the student feedback that we gathered throughout last year, our Sabbatical Officers have created our Big Plan goals that the SU is focusing on this year. The last few years have been anything but normal, which changed our method of collating our students’ priorities from setting up big walls on our campus squares, to having more regular meaningful conversations with you, across the whole academic year and focussing on our communities needs.  

The Big Plan is at the heart of everything the SU does. Our Big Plan has been formed to work on what matters to you right now and we plan to stay adaptable and always ready to react, in these everchanging times.  

This page outlines our priorities and progress, as well as other aims which you will help us decide upon during the year.  The role of ‘Big Plan Coordinator’ comes under the responsibilities of the VP International; so if there were any queries or further questions that you had regarding The Big Plan, please do not hesitate to email Marcus at vpinternational@essex.ac.uk.
