One exciting project that I've been working on this year is getting more high-profile speakers in to the Union to address a range of issues. The idea is to try engage a borader range of people in current affairs and put Sheffield Students' Union more on the map in terms of events like this. Oxford Union doesn't struggle to get the big names in because they have an established culture of it. That culture is something I want to see established in Sheffield.
I blogged about it in October but it is now coming together in the form of 'the Exchange'. You can see all the details at www.sheffieldunion.com/theexchange
Tickets are going fast for the events next week though, so if you want to get involved get yourself down to the box office quickly!
Cheers,
Pete
