The NSS is a really important way for you to reflect on your experience at Liberal Arts. It’s a great opportunity to think about what you found productive or enjoyable, and it gives you a way to make suggestions for our continuous improvement. We take your responses seriously: from last year’s NSS we set up more of a focus on equality (including putting more work into our ongoing efforts to diversify, liberate, and decolonize the curriculum); we worked to provide more library resources, and we worked closely with the Liberal Arts Society to improve the buddy system for incoming first years.

As Innovation Fellows, students in Liberal Arts and Global Sustainable Development (GSD) were actively involved in running the events on campus, as well as writing content for the Warwick Enterprise website, promoting Warwick Enterprise around the University and attending events themselves.
