GOATing

Have you been GOATed by LSU this week?

Did you know: GOATing stands for "Go out and talk" to students? Well, you do now!

We regularly spend time GOATing students. We do this because we value the importance of the student opinion. At the end of the day, Liverpool Students' Union exists to cater for it's members - you, the students. If something is wrong, then we want to know about it. By GOATing students, we can find out what problems students are facing and work to combat them, where possible.

Liverpool Students Union GOATed 9,000 students last year - were you one of them?

By going out and speaking to students, we can find out what matters most to them; it may be fees, accommodation or anything. We believe that it is important to GOAT so that we know exactly what students think. This enables us to plan out campaigns each year.
