Movember Challenge
Movember is an annual event aimed at raising awareness and funds for men's health issues, particularly prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health. Last year Men’s Rugby led the charge in fundraising efforts, helping Edinburgh Napier to raise over £14000 in total.
This year we’d love more people to take part and join the Edinburgh Napier Challenge. You can join as part of a team or as an individual, and growing a moustache isn’t compulsory! There are lots of other ways to get involved and help us hit our target of £15k.

Student Housing Campaign
With soaring rents, scarce accommodation, and the city’s ongoing housing emergency, too many students are struggling just to get by and find somewhere affordable to live.
We want safe, secure, and genuinely affordable student housing. To fight for real change, we need to learn more about what issues you’ve faced. Whether you're in Napier halls, a private flat, purpose-built student accommodation, or commuting from your family home, your experience matters.
Fill in our survey by 4th December and you could win £50 cash in our prize draw.

Academic Integrity Campaign
The ENSA Advice team is running a campaign focused on Artificial Intelligence and Academic Integrity. The campaign’s focus is to reduce the number of Academic Integrity breaches, following a significant increase in the number of students requesting support on this issue.
We want to ensure all students understand the policies and that the University applies them consistently. Our recent "Question of the Week" showed that 1 in 4 students either felt the University’s guidance on the use of AI wasn’t clear enough or didn’t even know guidance was available.
You can help the campaign by sharing your opinions on the use of AI in our survey.
