CHSS Peer Mentoring

CHSS Peer Mentoring Welcome to Durham! This group is to help 2022/23 Combined Honours in Social Sciences (CHSS) freshers understand a bit more about the course.

Feel free to ask any questions you have, even if unrelated to academics and we'll be happy to help.

hi guys! The boardroom isn’t open tomorrow (Thursday 9th February) in the morning but feel free to come in to do some work in the afternoon from 1 - 6pm and Friday afternoon! :)

Hi guys! Just a reminder that the SGIA (Politics and International Relations) module pre-registration opens today for everyone wanting to take a SGIA module/modules next year!

If you have any queries or would like some advice on module selection, remember you can always reach out to your mentors and the Senior Mentors!

We have the senior mentors, Ishwa Ganesaraja, Una Murphy and Ciara Jowett who have taken and currently take SGIA modules, who are more than happy to answer any questions you may have!

The deadline for pre-registration is 17th February (in 2 weeks) so please please remember to complete it by then!! :)

Hi guys!

Just another reminder the boardroom is open to use as a study space between 9am-6pm!

We will have our senior mentors, Una Murphy, who currently studies International Relations and Geography, but has also studied Anthropology and Sociology in previous years, in the boardroom in the morning, and Beth Presswood, who studies Anthropology and Sociology with a few Education Studies and CFLS french modules, in the afternoon. So feel free so pop in and do some work or ask any questions you may have about anything you might be worried about!

Just a quick reminder, that students who are using the boardroom please sign in on the piece of paper on the desk :)

Hi guys!

As many of you might have seen through Megan’s email earlier this week, CHSS students have access to the faculty boardroom - near Megan’s office (Room 012, Arthur Holmes Building (next to the CLC)) most Tuesdays, Thursdays between 9-6 and Friday mornings between 9-1 so feel free to pop in for a more quiet place to work!

We have it specifically from 11:30 onwards today, so feel free to use it! There will some senior mentors there throughout the day if you have any queries as well! :)

Hi again! With the upcoming strikes we thought we'd let you guys know how they will impact you. See below for the information!
For more detailed information, here's the link to the mitigation policy which has just been updated to reflect the most recent strike action in the last few days:https://www.durham.ac.uk/media/durham-university/campaign-sites/industrial-action/documents/Mitigations-policy-11-November-2022-FINAL.pdf

Hey! Congrats on making it halfway through the term! We’ll be posting several tips and tricks throughout the year to hopefully make adjusting to uni life easier. The first one is email etiquette! See below to see the proper ways you should be formatting and writing your emails.

As you may have seen in an email from Megan yesterday, CHSS students will have access to the faculty boardroom (near Megan's office (Room 012, Arthur Holmes Building)) this Thursday 13:00-14:30.
This is at the same time as Megan's office hours so feel free to pop by if you need to talk to her.
This weekly slot will also be a space you can use to study, relax, or chat to fellow CHSS students.
Senior Peer Mentor, Ishwa Ganesaraja will also be there in case you have any questions regarding anything (academic, social, etc)!

We hope you all have enjoyed your first few weeks in Durham!

We'll be posting information on this group that hopefully will make your life easier. Below is the link to a document that contains all the full names of rooms your lectures/seminars/etc are in in case you're confused about the acronyms!

The university has just changed their website and so the link to the page on their website isn't working anymore. This excel spreadsheet is from a few years ago but most acronyms should be the same. If anything is different/ missing feel free to ask any of us and we'll do our best to help you.
