We are proud of our achievements and successes during the life of the previous Strategic Plan which ran from Autumn 2005 - 2008 (the review of 2007/08 is available to view on the AUSA website – www.ausa.org.uk). Real progress and development has been made in many areas over the lifespan of the plan, though we acknowledge that there is still much we can improve upon that will positively impact on our members and stakeholders.
AUSA signed up for cohort four of the Students’ Union Evaluation Initiative (SUEI) which began at the beginning of January 2008. This is a two year process of assessment, evaluation, identifying areas for improvement, and evidencing outcomes of all activities within the Association, culminating in a final audit, report and application for accreditation.
It was felt appropriate that a short term Strategic Plan was put in place meantime (rather than a 3 – 5 year plan), as significant future changes may be recommended via SUEI.
The short term strategy for Aberdeen University Students’ Association aims to look ahead to 2008/09 and outline the developments which will drive forward the organisation over the next year (autumn ’08 – autumn ’09).
