Is it really week 9 already?! Term might be coming to a close but there's still loads going on!
For a start, tomorrow at 7pm in MS0.2 (Maths and Stats) there's the Union General Meeting which any student can attend and vote at. Questions we'll need you to vote on include whether we should have a free education stance, whether we should allow members of racist and fascist organisations to be able to have a public platform in the Union, whether Warwick SU should support the public sector strikes on 30 November, how we can improve postgraduate representation, and whether we should lobby for a minimum number of contact hours per week. It's the highest decision making body we have, and it's vital that you come along to have your voice heard!
On an unrelated note, Thursday is World AIDS Day. Come along to reception to buy a red ribbon. The money, as always, will go to HIV Aware. On a sad note, Matt Rogers has written this blog post about theft from the IKEA Space. Also, keep an eye out for information on Warwick's Chancellor, Sir Richard Lambert, doing a Q&A next week!
As always, if you have any questions, feel free to contact any of the Officers, also check out our blogs to see what we've been up to.

 Hult International Business School presents Hult Global Case Challenge
The Hult Global Case Challenge is a call to action for the world's brightest university and college student minds to tackle the world's most pressing social challenges. The 2012 Hult Global Case Challenge will be themed around Global Poverty. Under the Global Poverty umbrella, three subject social challenge areas will be tackled through respective individual tracks of competition across five cities.
Hult Global Case Challenge is open to universities and colleges on every continent. More than 1,000 universities and business schools applied to participate in 2011 and the Finalists were flown to New York City for the Global Final. Former U.S. President Bill Clinton was on hand to conclude the 2nd Annual Hult Global Case Challenge Final, presenting the USD1 million cash grant provided by Hult to the organization to ensure that the best solution of the team or individual can be implemented.
Lavinia Yang, Director of Recruiting at Hult International Business School will host an information session in Meeting Room 4 & 5, Student Union at Warwick University, explaining the competition process and application requirements.
