Change does not just happen – students make it happen
Speak Up. Get Involved. Be Inspired.
About Change Week
Want to make a difference? Change Week, 13-17 October, is about shaping your student experience at Exeter and beyond!
We're led by students, for students and we're here to help you make change happen. From backing 32 student-led campaigns to acting on 34,000 survey responses last year, we help turn your ideas into action.
What's On
From workshops to clean-ups, campaign spaces to games to win big prizes – meet people who care about what you care about.
Hmm... There are currently no events to show here.
But don’t miss out on other activities happening around campus by visiting the Main Event Hub webpage.
What's On
A week of events. A chance to connect. A space to make change.
From workshops to clean-ups, campaign spaces to games to win big prizes – meet people who care about what you care about.
Change doesn’t start with a big idea. It starts with people and passion - see where the week takes you.
Tell Us What Matters Most To You
We’re your elected Officers. Every campaign we run, every conversation we have with the University, starts with what you tell us.
From housing costs to inaccessible campuses and outdated mitigation processes, we know students are facing real challenges. This is your chance to speak up and be heard.
