WHAT IS THE THINK TANK?
NSU Think Tank allows you to submit ideas to make changes within the Students’ Union and to instruct the Executive Committee to lobby for change within the University. Examples include, wanting to change something within your course, or change how the Students' Union run a particular area. You have the power to really have your say...

HOW DOES IT WORK?Once your Idea has been submitted through the Think Tank application, it will be processed by a member of the team, who will be in contact with you about your idea.
Once we are clear on what you want to achieve, your Idea will then be live for two weeks for you and other students to vote upon. We’ll email you the link to your Idea so that you can promote your Idea throughout your own social media platforms, and NSU will also promote current Ideas through our social media channels. At the end of the voting period, your Idea will need to have been voted on by at least 30 students, and scored at least 50% + 1 to achieve a PASS, eg. 16 students would need to vote YES for the Idea to PASS. A member of the team will be in contact with you to let you know if your idea has been successful before going to the Executive Committee for them to formally act on it. You will receive updates on your idea as the work of the Exec progresses. REMEMBER: When your idea gets submitted a member of the team will email you before your idea goes live for voting for quality purposes. |
