The merger of Kent Students’ Union and Greenwich Students’ Union has now been successfully completed. This is the start of one of the most ambitious projects in the student movement, bringing together two established students’ unions to create a stronger organisation that will deliver an even better experience for students across both universities.
For students, it’s business as usual. Whether you’re studying at Kent or Greenwich, you’ll continue to access the advice, representation, student groups, events and opportunities that make student life rewarding as normal. You’ll still be supported by dedicated teams on your campus, with a continued focus on delivering an outstanding student experience where you study.
Although both unions are now united as LASE SU, each union will keep its individual name, brand and identity for the current time. This means that Greenwich students will still access their union services from Greenwich Students’ Union and Kent students will still access their union services from Kent Students’ Union.
As we continue to bring our organisations together, one thing won’t change: students will always be at the centre of everything we do, and elected student leaders and student trustees will help to ensure your priorities remain at the heart of our new organisation.
