Campus and commercial services are vital to university and college life. Our members are responsible for the strategic and operational management of student residential accommodation and residence life programmes; catering, hospitality &retail; sport & physical activity; academic & commercial conferencing; events, including graduations; print, design & merchandising, soft facilities management, and various other services. They may run hotels, arts centres, nurseries and even the university’s digital services. By connecting, supporting and developing these professionals, CUBO helps to create excellent campus experiences for all.
The 2023 UUK/GuildHE Accommodation Code of Practice Review is underway, as we update and shape the Code’s future. Code members’ views have been sought on the Code as it is - whether it meets the evolving needs of institutions and students – as well as future development. The review considers all areas of The Code, from content to structure, effectiveness and language. There will be an online roundtable with members on the new Code in September, before it goes to the Governance Board and then for Parliamentary approval. The participation of members in the review has been invaluable.
Residential life and student experience is a vital part of university life and there are hundreds (maybe even thousands) of people working in res life across the UK. In 2022-23 students will need our support more than ever.
