Anthony Foster Welcome Week is here
This week the office has been buzzing with a hive of activity - societies, sports clubs, students interns, content creators, sabbaticals and staff members all working together to make Welcome Week one of the best yet. Our Events and Campaigns Manager Zsuzsanna Toth and her team of students have produced a great first week (and first trimester) for you. (Note to self - need more space!)
Society support increases
Societies have more support this year to help strengthen the societies we have and help you create some new ones. Speak to Kiera Lay, our new staff member, or sabbatical Emeka. That means Craig Stephen can now concentrate on Sports Development with Megan Robertson and sabbatical Austen. We will all be at the Welcome Fair on Tuesday during Welcome Week, as will all the Sports Clubs and Societies looking for new members. Sports Clubs and Societies are a great way to make new friends and take your mind off that degree when you need it most.
Cost of living support
To help with the cost of living Catherine Jones has expanded our Fairshare deliveries to receive free food on campus at our weekly Pantry and also expanded our Swap Shops. We are also looking for Eco Volunteers to help support this initiative which is also great for the environment so why not get involved. Details here Eco Volunteers
The Student Voice
Daniel Wright has been working with our new Sabbaticals Blessing and Emeka to streamline and strengthen student voice on campus. These changes will be introduced over first trimester. Patrycja Stanny has put together a video with the sabbatical team on how we can help you and how to enjoy the best part of being at University https://youtu.be/Adjp3744Q2Q?si=Tk6MnkYfTQZuMMvC
