Leicester 100
The Leicester 100 is a representative panel at the heart of decision-making within the Students’ Union, responsible for voting on student policies and determining whether they are passed. The panel meet four times during the academic year.

All members are paid for attending and contributing at the usual student staff rate, with full paid training and guidance provided before the first meeting.

As a student-led organisation, it is essential that the voices shaping decisions reflect the diversity of our wider student population. The Leicester 100 has been established to ensure this, with members selected to proportionally represent students across protected characteristics as defined by the Equality Act 2010.

The Leicester 100 forms part of the SU’s commitment to forward-thinking, inclusive change driven by students.

Applications open in early September and will involve a simple application form, after which the Data and Insight Team at the Students’ Union will review submissions to ensure the panel is as representative as possible.

Academic Representatives
Academic Reps are students who have volunteered or been selected to represent their cohort's voice on issues surrounding academics and community.

The core function of an Academic Rep is representing students by listening to and collecting feedback through conversations and surveys. Reps then take this feedback to relevant meetings such as Student Staff Committees (SSCs) where they work alongside staff members to act on feedback to improve students experience.

Peer Mentoring Scheme
The Peer Mentoring Scheme has been created to support new students during their transitional period to university through peer-to-peer support.

The scheme helps build an inclusive and welcoming environment to university by cultivating a supportive relationship between mentor and mentees.

Current Â鶹ÊÓƵ students volunteer to become mentors, and they often have a unique perspective of the demands of university and the services available at Leicester. Mentors receive training and continuous support from the Peer Mentoring Team throughout the scheme.

Not only is becoming a mentor an enriching experience but also adds valuable skills to your CV. This is a voluntary scheme, however, only Senior Peer Mentors are paid for their time.
