Hello new and old students. My name is Sarah Lee(previous Mature Student Representative). I have had some questions as regards to freshers/social. I am unsure what is going on for freshers, and as I am no longer Mature student officer there will be no welcome breakfast. Is anyone interested in a social and meeting up either at sunnyside, or pavillion.
For all you new students, if you have any concerns or questions, please e-mail me and I will assist you, if you have any questions as regards to academic support please check out the students union website there is a lot more info on there.
