What is outreach?
Outreach is a strategy for increasing the visibility of the Help & Advice service at all University of Worcester sites.
Outreach can take many different forms:
-
A Help & Advice stand with information and signposting for students.
-
Advisors visiting sites and being available to speak with students on an ad hoc basis.
-
Providing a quiet space on various campuses so students can have virtual or physical appointments with an advisor.
-
Upskilling and providing information to university staff and those in student-facing roles so they can signpost to the Help & Advice service when dealing with student concerns or queries.
-
Greater visibility on university platforms and collaboration with Firstpoint/Student services.
Upcoming outreach events will be sent to students in the weekly email correspondence from the Students’ Union. If you see the Students' Union advisors, please come and say ‘hello!’
