Empowering Students,
Shaping Solutions
Advisory boards bring together students with a particular interest or expertise to help guide our thinking and inform key projects. These are a great way to get involved with Guild decision making and creating student-led solutions.
Guild Accountability Board
The core purpose of this board is to hold accountability for the Student Officer team and the work they do. The Officers present their priorities and progress to students on the board who review and approve it. Officer priorities in 2024/25 were focused on the themes of Education, Co-curricular and Living Needs.
The Board works with Officers to improve their priorities and ensure activities meets the needs of Exeter students. Last year this Board, amongst other items, approved the appointment of Trustees to board, suggested improvements around accessibility in Welcome, and changed how we looked at Officer accountability, resulting in this year’s increased focus on Officers and their work as part of the Representation Review.

The Marketing Advisory Board is a collaboration between staff and students that looks at improving the communications and marketing approach of the Guild– making it work better for students and improving our engagement.

International Student Advisory Board
Last year, the International Student Advisory Board was key in shaping the University’s International Student Engagement Strategy.
This year the students on the Board will be looking to shape the delivery of the strategy by working very closely with the University. In the Board’s inaugural year, it approved and presented the new International Student Experience strategy to University Council and received appreciative thanks from the Office of the Vice Chancellor for their input into this new strategy.

EDI Advisory Board
As a radically inclusive organisation, we put Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion as centrally important – providing an opportunity for students to co-create solutions to issues around inclusion with both the University and the Guild. Previously the EDI Advisory Board has examined and shaped: Multi-Faith centre usage and communications, the review of student mitigation and freedom of speech support and guidance, resulting in Protest Guidance being produced based on student needs.
