About the Student-Staff Committee
Our Student-Staff Committee (SSC) is the main place to raise any concerns, feedback, or ideas, with the history programme and wider School.
The SSC comprises of student representatives and members of staff from across the School.
Action points created at the SSC are then taken forward to the School's Academic Misconduct Committee for discussion, and may ultimately be discussed at a School Meeting, or the School's Executive Board, to inform decisions that impact future learning and teaching policy and practices.

Student-Staff Committee Structure
Your representatives are made up from all three levels of the undergraduate degrees, with single and dual honours students represented. Along with representatives from the Philosophy degree. However, when it comes to meetings, ALL students are welcome to come along.
If you would like to get involved in Student Staff Committee, feel free to email history.ugenquiries@sheffield.ac.uk for more information.
The meetings are also attended by staff from History, including the Senior Tutor, and members of the School Undergraduate team. Other selected members of teaching and support staff will be invited to the meeting, depending on the topics for discussion.
Student reps are invited to sign up at the beginning of each academic year. If you miss this opportunity you are welcome to sign up as a representative at any point throughout the year and to attend meetings and raise questions.
We also invite Steven McIndoe to the meetings. Steve is the library liaison for the school, and he is happy to be contacted with concerns directly, or you can contact your student representatives with questions or concerns, or use our Feedback Form, to raise with Steve at the meeting for further discussion.
The Chair of the SSC is usually the Senior Tutor in the department, currently Dr Lucy Brown.
Any issue that concerns undergraduate students!
Topics can be raised by any student and you can communicate your concerns/questions to your student representatives, who will raise these with the forum and report back.
You can also come along and raise issues, ideas or suggestions yourself, either in-person, or via our online suggestions form.
