R03 - The Open University Students Association in the South West

forum    newsletter  website contact     facebook

The Assembly is a group of students who volunteer their time to meet and discuss issues affecting students in the region. We consist of officers and representatives from the region, as well as a member of the Executive Committee.

The Central Executive Committee Member for the South West is Peter Searle: I'm a fellow OU student, just about to start my final 60 point course to gain a BA (Hons) History. I have been involved in OUSA from the early days of studying. I have held the positions of Secretary, Chair and Treasurer at Branch level, and have chaired the South West Regional Forum. Now, as CECM for the South West, I'm looking forward in helping the students of our region get the most out of OUSA. contact Peter

O U S A in the South West covers a very large, mainly rural, area. As students you have probably encountered challenges in attending tutorials or exam centres and as a Student Association we encounter similar challenges arranging face to face meetings. As a result O U S A in the South West was at the forefront of moves to utitlise the online technologies available. The Somerset branch was the first in O U S A to operate solely online and the Regional Forum has pioneered the use of online meetings alongside face to face meetings.But that sounds far too like business! The benefits of meeting fellow students online are many and varied.
