About Proud to be Staffs

Proud to be Staffs is our way of recognising amazing people for doing amazing things.

We share a wonderful community here at Staffordshire University and everyday people around us do incredible things (both everyday and extraordinary) that make us feel at home, make us feel included and make us #proudtobestaffs.

For us here at your Students' Union, we celebrate these amazing people every year, saying thank you on your behalf.

There are two ways you could get involved:

1. Send a Thank You

If you're short on time, this is the option for you. Simply fill out our three question form and we'll instantly send a thank you on your behalf.

2. Tell us a Story

By taking a little more time and telling us more about what someone did to make your day, we can share your experience (and their amazingness) publicly AND consider them for one of our annual awards.
