This week on the Membership Services Show Alan and Liv talk to West Chester University, who share how their Division of Student Affairs is drawing on the healthcare concept of social prescribing to reshape “Weeks of Welcome” – a six-week induction period designed to tackle loneliness and foster community.

They also speak to Nick Smith about the pitfalls of mixed category trustee boards – and why the path to high performance lies in cohesive teamwork, not representational silos. And Jo Walters talks us through media law, outlining the legal risks of social campaigning, the importance of officer training, and what staff need to watch for in the age of always-on student activism.

With West Chester University, Nick Smith (Governance Consultant), and Jo Walters (Communications Consultant), and hosted by Livia Scott (Partnerships Coordinator, Wonkhe) and Alan Roberts (Director, Counterculture).
