Student Digital Champions case studies
The SDC role provides basic IT support as a peer-to-peer service for all students to access if they need support. Being in this role has boosted my confidence, self-esteem, and importantly this has helped me to understand students' different needs. Being an SDC has provided me with skills and knowledge to help others but also learn more myself. This opportunity has helped me to further my IT and general knowledge which will see me further into the future.

Being an SDC has given me a platform on which to build myself and to share my experiences and knowledge. It has increased my confidence in public speaking and in finding new ways to interact with people. It has also aided me in further understanding the uniqueness of each individual and how tailoring our services to them can make all the difference! It’s been a lot of fun, and the role has also given me opportunity to play my part in enhancing the student community’s digital literacy and assist in creating tools and resources to further assist the effort. Overall, this role is one I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone!
