After more than fifty years of championing and supporting our members, we are now called Open SU.
Today marks the start of a new chapter – after more than fifty years of championing and supporting our members, we are now called Open SU.
You – our students – have been fully involved in this change, from voting in favour of our new name to shaping our new brand. By using the term ‘union’, we hope to help everyone better understand the important work we do, and how we make a positive difference for OU students.
What’s changing?
From now on, you will start to see our new brand roll out across our online spaces and communications. We're using our new name, Open SU, and you'll notice a new logo, colours and imagery.
We want to connect with you as clearly as possible – and make it easier for you to find the content and information that matters to you – so you might also spot a shift in how we write and share updates.
What’s not changing?
We’re still here for the same reason – to make a positive difference for all OU students.
We’ll continue to:
- Empower a student voice that is strong and effective in representing the diversity of our members.
- Work collaboratively with the University to ensure that students are at the centre of decision-making.
- Build an inclusive community which nurtures a sense of pride and belonging.
- Provide relevant, quality services which enhance the student experience.
