 As you probably already know, the first Postgraduate Association meeting will be on Thursday 25th October at 5.30pm in The Mighty Duck. Please come along, as we will be discussing any issues relating to Postgraduate life at Warwick (both academic and non-academic), as well as appointing the PGR rep and the social secretary. This is a really great chance to be involved in the Union, enact change and meet fellow students. The timetable for the evening will be posted on the Facebook wall and the SU event page at the start of next week!

 Last year, the SU ran a campaign called Hungry For Feedback which aimed to improve the University’s record on the quality of academic feedback they provide on assessed work. The initial agreement presented to us by the University was deemed unacceptable, and as the academic representatives of your SU, we refused to sign it in its original form. We are therefore delighted to announce that the University has now set a 4-week maximum timeframe on assessment feedback. To read the joint letter signed by the Vice Chancellor Nigel Thrift and SU President Nick Swain, visit Warwick Insite.

 After meeting with the Sabbatical Team, the University’s Estates Office has created a new Shuttle Bus Service to the student post room at Westwood. This is in response to concerns raised by students about the location relative to some halls of residence. The new Shuttle Bus operates a 30 minute circuit of the campus, starting from Library Road at 10:15am with the last departure at 5.15pm from Monday to Friday. More information and a map of the bus route are available online.

 The Saturday Session is a brand new Postgrad night at the Terrace Bar which takes place every other Saturday.

The next one is on the 3rd November from 9pm till late – see you there! Head to warwicksu.com/events for more details.
