On the first floor of the LUU building, you’ll find LUU: Shared Memories –  a memorabilia wall that celebrates the contributions, past and present, of our members during their time at Leeds University.

This wall honours the contributions of our student members, both past and present, during their time at the University of Leeds and Leeds University Union. Students here have been building a supportive and fun community at LUU since the 1870’s, one where everyone can love their time at Leeds.

Have any memorabilia that showcases the experiences of LUU student members? We’d be thrilled to include it in our exhibition! All contributions are welcome and truly valued—get in touch with us: LUULeadershipSupport@leeds.ac.uk
