VP Student Voice - Maneeka Bhujun
Freshers' weeks are finally over, but those weeks are one of the most tiring and rewarding part of my job. I love the buzz and excitement of new students! From meeting you all on your registration day to singing songs at Karaoke with you, I, quite frankly cannot choose one event that stood out as I loved all of them. Your enthusiastic participation in all our events was probably my highlight.
Being involved with your Students' Union will only enhance your university experience. I hope all of you continue to engage with our activities as those deadlines creep up and those lectures get bulkier.
Now your academic journey begins. Lectures are underway, deadlines are on the horizon, and there's laundry to learn. Pace yourself, ask for help early, and keep saying yes to the new experiences.
As always, I encourage you to be loud! Welcome to university. You've got this!
VP Student Communities - Lydia Offei
It’s been a busy few weeks, from helping students find their way to classes, hosting many different events, to answering questions about all the amazing sports clubs and societies on offer. It’s been such a pleasure to meet so many new faces and welcome everyone into our community!
Looking ahead, there’s so much to be excited about this term! We have some fantastic events coming up, including Girls Night In and Guys Night In. Whether you’re looking to socialise, meet new people, enjoy a relaxed evening or take a well-deserved break from studying, there’s something for everyone to get involved in. I’ll also be hosting my weekly Crafternoon in the OTM every Wednesday afternoon, so if you fancy getting creative, meeting new people or simply taking some time for yourself, why not pop along and give it a go? Best of all, it’s completely free!
Make sure to keep an eye on the What’s On page to stay up to date on what we’ve got on offer – bring your friends along and get involved wherever you can!
