Dear students,
As we approach the festive season, I want to extend my warmest wishes to each of you. This is a time for rest, celebration, and togetherness, and I hope the break gives you the chance to recharge, spend time with friends and family, and reflect on everything you’ve accomplished.
Whether you have just started or you are looking towards the finish line, take a moment to celebrate the wins and reflect on the challenges that you have overcome. Being an OU student is not an easy task, and no matter where you are on that journey, be proud and keep going!
This year has also been a full one for the SU, with a lot of amazing work from our student leaders, volunteers and staff to ensure that the voice of OU students is strong and making a positive difference at the OU. We look forward to 2026 being another exciting year, filled with new opportunities, events, and ways to make your student experience even better.
Wishing you a joyful Christmas and a happy New Year!
Best wishes
Natalie Baker
Open SU President
