About Us:Amplify the student voice to enhance the student experience




Description

As part of the University of Limerick Student Engagement Forum, we are launching UL50, a new initiative to amplify the student voice in shaping the UL experience.

What is UL100?
UL50 is a group of 50 UL students who will act as a collaborative sounding board for the Student Engagement Forum. Their role is to ensure that new programmes, services, and interventions are student-centred, inclusive, and responsive to student needs. This initiative reflects the Forum’s commitment to meaningful, sustained engagement between students and the university community.

Why UL50?
Students are at the heart of everything we do. UL50 gives students a direct platform to influence decisions that impact their academic journey, social experience, and overall wellbeing. By participating, students will help co-create initiatives that foster belonging, motivation, and success.

What will members of UL50 do?

  • Shape new programmes and interventions: Provide feedback on proposals for co-curricular initiatives.
  • Advise on student experience projects: From digital tools to wellbeing supports, UL100 ensures these meet student expectations.
  • Collaborate with working groups: Engage with Forum-led projects on topics like communications, campus services, and engagement strategies.
  • Act as a consultative voice: Participate in focus groups and surveys to inform university-wide developments.

Impact and Recognition
Participating in UL50 will contribute hours to the President’s Volunteer Award.
