We collaborate with academic staff to integrate socially responsive approaches that enhance both student learning and community engagement.

Find out how you can get involved:

Social Impact Initiatives

Through collaborative projects, engaged research, and strategic partnerships, we address pressing social challenges while fostering inclusive development and transformation.

Student Initiatives

By taking part in this event, students will better understand how their skills can be applied to address real-world challenges, including those related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Volunteer Opportunities

If you wish to see change and become an engaged and active citizen, but do not know how but want to help, be connected, get involved and make a meaningful difference you can simply become a volunteer.

Transformation Initiatives

Our transformation initiatives drive meaningful change by addressing historical inequalities, promoting diversity, and embedding transformation within institutional and community structures.

School Initiatives

Our school initiatives empower students as active citizens, fostering reflection, responsibility, and lasting change through outreach and co-curricular learning.

Transformation Key Performance Areas

SU is committed to transformation; thus, all staff are required to include a key performance area related to Transformation. This weighting must be minimum 10%. However, staff are encouraged to align their individual weighting with the University’s objectives.
