 The first Postgraduate Association meeting took place on Thursday 25th October, and it was very successful. There were group discussions on a wide range of issues including PG Hub opening hours, fees, resources and library space. We also held elections for the PG Rep and Social Secretary, and now have a fully-formed committee ready to take on issues, organise socials and improve postgrad life here at Warwick! We will be in touch about the next meeting in due course, so keep your eyes peeled.
