<div class="fr-view"><p>Twice a year, we publish a newsletter specifically for OU students living in a secure environment. These students mainly use paper course material for their studies, meaning that they aren&rsquo;t able to access the articles published on The Hoot. Therefore, we put together a bespoke newsletter, made up of inspiring and relevant articles from <a href="//thehootstudents.com">thehootstudents.com</a>, as well as articles written by Open SU<span style="color: #000000;font-family: Cabin, sans-serif;font-size: 17px;font-style: normal;font-weight: 400;letter-spacing: normal;text-align: start;text-indent: 0px;text-transform: none;background-color: #ffffff;display: inline !important;float: none"> ;</span>staff members.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.oustudents.com/assets/site_resources/SiSE%20Newsletter%20Issue%207%20(Summer%202025)%20COLOUR.pdf">July 2025 newsletter (Issue 7)</a> has been sent out to institutions across the country &ndash; you can download it from the Open SU website. This is our first SiSE newsletter under our new name of Open SU, so it&#039;s a significant milestone.</p>
<p>There are a range of topics covered in Issue 7, including our rebrand to Open SU, key information about our library study volunteer and individual representation work, and the OU&#039;s &#039;Take Five to Age Well&#039; initiative.</p>
<p>Most importantly of all, there are also several emotional submissions from our SiSE students, which we love to receive.</p>
<p>The bespoke articles written for the printed edition of this newsletter are also available online on The Hoot:</p>
