In this episode of SEN Insights, weโ€™re joined by Jessica Brown, CEO of the @gugcstudentguild and outgoing Board Chair of the Student Experience Network, for a conversation on leadership, governance, and student voice.

Jess shares her journey from student to CEO, reflects on the Guildโ€™s shift to a hybrid governance model, and discusses how organisations can balance strong governance with authentic student representation.

We also dive into her experience as SEN Board Chair, including the value of sector collaboration, what sheโ€™s learned through the role, and why itโ€™s an opportunity others should consider.

Plus, we explore the importance of clubs, connection, and belonging on campus, and why creating meaningful student experiences remains at the heart of everything we do.

Congratulations to Activate UTS, winners of Best Food & Beverage Initiative at the Student Experience Network Awards 2025 for their $5.50 student lunch program at The Terrace Cafรฉ.

Launched in response to growing cost-of-living pressures facing students, the initiative set out to provide high-quality, nutritious meals at an affordable price without compromising on taste, convenience, or dignity. The program began in October 2024 with a goal of serving around 50 subsidised meals each day.

Located in the heart of campus life, The Terrace cafรฉ was the ideal setting for the initiative. The program not only helped address food insecurity but also strengthened the cafรฉโ€™s role as a vibrant student hub. Since launch, the initiative has delivered over 8000 meals to students, providing practical support while encouraging connection and community on campus.

Could your campus be home to the next standout food and beverage initiative?
The Best Food & Beverage Initiative category in the Student Experience Network Awards 2026 celebrates innovative programs that enhance campus dining while responding to the evolving needs of students. From affordable meal programs to creative hospitality concepts, we want to see how your organisation is making a difference through food and beverage.

If your team has launched an initiative thatโ€™s supporting students and strengthening campus life, now is the time to enter!

#StudentExperienceNetwork #NewMember
Today is University Mental Health Day, a UK initia Today is University Mental Health Day, a UK initiative that highlights the importance of student mental health across university communities.

This yearโ€™s theme โ€” Human Connection โ€” reminds us of something we see every day across our member campuses: students thrive when they feel connected, understood and supported.

Connection doesnโ€™t only matter during study. It also matters during the transitions around it โ€” particularly the move from university into placements and graduate employment, when many of the support networks students rely on begin to shift or disappear.

Strengthening connection across these transition points is essential if we want student wellbeing support to extend beyond the campus boundary.

At the Student Experience Network, we see the power of connection through the work of our members every day โ€” building communities, creating inclusive spaces and helping students feel like they truly belong.

Itโ€™s also why the theme of SENCON 2026 is BELONG โ€” because fostering connection is at the heart of meaningful student experiences and thriving campus communities.

A big congratulations to NUservices - @uni_newcastle for taking out Best Commercial Initiative at the Student Experience Network Awards 2025 for the Revitalisation of @baronthehill .

After years of external management, the venue was brought back under university control and completely reimagined as a vibrant, student-first community hub. The refreshed space now supports sport, clubs, social events, live music, and affordable dining, with upgraded indoor and outdoor areas, extended food hours, and new social spaces designed to bring students together.

Since reopening, Bar on the Hill has seen a significant rise in student engagement, event attendance, and commercial performance. Even better, the revenue generated now directly supports student services and experiences across the university community.

An outstanding example of how commercial initiatives can create meaningful impact for students while strengthening campus life.

Could your team be next?
The Best Commercial Initiative category recognises innovative ventures that strengthen student life while delivering strong commercial outcomes. From revitalised venues and retail concepts to creative revenue-generating programs, we want to see the initiatives making an impact across your campus.
