Student Governor Destinations Conference

The Inaugural Student Governor Destinations Conference, incorporating the Student Governor of the Year Awards, was hosted at Burberry HQ in London brought together student governors and governance professionals from across the country.

The event combined key messages from inspirational speakers such as Shelagh Legrave CBE (Further Education Commissioner), Ella Robertson McKay (Director One Young World), Mel Stocker, (VP Burberry), Lisa Humphries (Chichester College Group) and former student governor Tom Matthew, with workshops, panel discussions and the presentation of awards.

Congratulations to all the shortlisted candidates for Student Governor of the Year and especially to our Winner, Ivy Knight from Moulton College.

The event, run by Unloc and sponsored by Rockborn Consulting celebrated the power, importance and impact of Student Voice. It came at the end of the new Student Governor Changemaker Programme that included both in person and digital leadership training sessions.

“It was truly an unforgettable experience that I will cherish throughout my journey in Further Education – and I couldn’t have done it without the amazing group of supporters standing behind me”.
