  2. Student Academic Representatives (StARs) What are StARs? Student Academic Representatives (StARs) are students who represent their peers opinions, views, grievances and feedback to the university at Student-Staff Liaison Committee (SSLC). Why should I stand to be a StAR? Enhance your employability Make your voice heard Improve your course Increase your skill base Recognition/ Accreditation Claim Volunteer Hours For me, being a StAR is a fantastic way to get involved with various areas of the Students’ Union and University that you wouldn’t otherwise. You have a direct input into the running of your course and will work closely with both students and staff. StAR of the Year 2013/14 – Harry Williams Biomedical Science Level 2

  3. Student Academic Representatives (StARs) StARs Conference The ‘StARs Conference’ is a one day training event run by KeeleSU developed to give StARs the skills and knowledge they need to effectively represent their peers. You need to attend this training in order for your role as a StAR to appear on your HEAR. The event is held on Saturday the 25th of October and will include lunch. Higher Education Achieve Report (HEAR) Being a StAR is a HEAR Recordable Activity so you get to prove to prospective employers that you have held a position of responsibility within your course, with the following text appearing on your HEAR for every year you are a StAR. “Acting as a voice for peers on their course, planning, negotiating change and practising public speaking with staff and students.” For more information contact su.activities@keele.ac.uk
