President: Wellbeing May 2025 Update

By President: Wellbeing - Babatunde Jimoh

Hi everyone,

May was a month focused on student interaction, mental health advocacy, and building momentum for the 'Someone to Talk To' campaign. While not as event-packed as previous months, it provided meaningful opportunities to connect with students and colleagues.

On May 15th, during Mental Health Awareness Week at Riverside Campus, I partnered with Vicki to engage students on the importance of mental health. Though turnout was modest, I was able to speak with students directly, distribute wellbeing resources, and visit faculty buildings to encourage open dialogue around mental wellbeing.

May 22nd featured a team-building afternoon with SU staff, including a fun geocaching activity across both campuses. It was a great opportunity to learn more about my colleagues and strengthen our teamwork beyond the office environment.

On May 28th, I manned the help desk with Kay-Jay at St. Peter’s Gateway, offering guidance and signposting support services to new students, staff, and parents of prospective students. These interactions were insightful and provided a clearer view of the questions and concerns students have when joining the university.

The month closed with a focus group for the 'Someone to Talk To' campaign on May 29th. This session helped gauge awareness of university support services and how students feel about accessing wellbeing help. The feedback was valuable and will directly inform the next steps of the campaign.

Overall, May highlighted the importance of consistent, personal engagement and listening to students' lived experiences to shape meaningful change.
