Home LBS SA President's Address

Welcome to London Business School from the Student Association and its President, Sean Barrett.

Welcome to London Business School! You are now part of truly diverse community of students, academics and alumni.

 

Being a business school student is hopefully going to be one of the richest and most rewarding experiences of your life. Undertaking your studies at London Business School and becoming part of our community will make this experience even richer – given the incredibly diverse, vibrant and collegiate nature of our campus life.

 

The London Business School Student Association (“the Student Association”) is the School's student government and has a number of key roles in the community, including:

 

Representing student issues

  • We represent the views of all students through delegates of each of the School's core programmes (MiF, PhD, EMBA, MBA and Sloan);
  • We cover a broad range of areas, including Academic, Alumni, Careers, House & Ethics, IT, Sponsorship and Sports;
    We participate in a number of different discussion forums, including the Governing Board, Faculty Board, Teaching Awards, Programme Deans and Directors Meetings, Admissions Committee, Alumni Board and numerous ad hoc meetings with the Dean, Deputy Dean, Alumni Relations, Fundraising and Sponsorship, IT, and Facilities;
  • We stay in touch with issues by constantly communicating with our members and via our annual Student Association Survey.  This survey is a powerful tool used to assess satisfaction by identifying and tracking subjects that most concern students.  The survey is an important measurement of not only areas that might need improvement, but also the progress that we have made in previously cited areas.  The Administration, Faculty, and Staff take this feedback most seriously and their response is both positive and immediate.

Promote and support student activity

  • We coordinate student club activities and work towards promoting and assisting clubs. There are currently over 80 active student led clubs on campus, including regional, cultural, vocational and sporting clubs;
  • We allocate a budget of approximately £60,000 to the student clubs and support an enormous number of diverse activities.

 

Coordinate community-wide events and activities

  • We plan and manage (with lots of student help!) events and activities such as the Summer and Winter Balls, Tattoo, and participation at the MBAT sports tournament held at HEC in France every May.
 

 

The Student Association Executive Committee is made up of 30 students from all programmes. Elections for the Executive Committee occur in May and September each year. All students have the opportunity to get involved, to contribute to the ongoing development of the school, and to add to the vibrancy of the community.

 

Please let us know your thoughts on issues relating to the School and make the most of the opportunities to get involved with club leadership, with one of the various major school events, or by standing for an office on the Student Association's Executive Committee. We look forward to your help in taking London Business School to greater heights!

 

Take care and have fun!

-- Sean
