The Connector Programme sees students and staff working as equal partners; learning, innovating and co-creating together to improve the student experience at Sussex.

There are teams of Staff and Student Connectors working across the university, planning events for welcome and induction, creating accessible marking criteria, running student wellbeing programmes, and many other activities.  We are looking to embed student and staff collaboration across teaching and student services, to ensure that we are building an inclusive community, relevant to students' needs and wants.

Staff members can engage a Connector team to identify, plan or implement projects which aim to positively impact the student experience.
