Student Enterprise Champions
A number of Student Enterprise Champions are sponsored and supported by the University's Business Support Office to raise awareness of entrepreneurship and generate enterprise activities for fellow students. The Champions gain valuable management and team skills that are a valuable contribution to their CVs. In March 2009 they established a student enterprise society called InSparation.

"I have developed my team-working skills and it's given me the opportunity to think about planning and action planning. The whole process of setting up a new group with allocation of roles, vision, name, logo, etc has been really interesting and it's been great to develop our ideas into reality."
Emma Gooding, Student Enterprise Champion & Treasurer of InSparation
