6. FOR ACTION: 'What do students want from the curriculum?' opportunity. 

'If you’re the sort of SU that takes students’ education and their hopes for their future seriously, we have an exciting opportunity for you. Over the next few months Wonkhe, supported by Adobe, will be carrying out a research project on students' expectations for their academic curriculum. We'd love to hear from interested SUs who would be keen to shape the discussion, run a focus group with students on our behalf, and share your insight on how SUs can influence the curriculum. It won't cost you anything to get involved, we'll cover expenses and you’ll be first in on a new toolkit on influencing curriculum. Alan Roberts, partner at CounterCulture LLP and fresh from a stint as interim chief exec of two SUs, will be facilitating the project -  get in touch with Alan to express interest and find out more.'
