Week 8 is PRIDE WEEK on campus, an annual week-long programme of events offering a celebration of LBGTUA+ identity here at Warwick while providing you with the opportunity to learn more about the vital work of this student-run support network and campaigning society!

Highlights this year include the Trans* Day of Remembrance Vigil out on the Piazza at 7pm on Wednesday, together with a special night of live music from local and student bands on Friday night at Love Music Hate Homophobia. However you self-define, make sure you visit warwickpride.org or follow Pride on Facebook at facebook.com/warwickpride for the latest news

In the meantime, here's a glimpse of what's going on in Week 8…

If you are actively considering applying for PhD funding and don't know where to start, the PhD Funding Mentorship Scheme can help.  If you register with the scheme, they will do their best to match you with a suitable PhD mentor who, as well as helping to identify sources of funding, can help you to learn more about PhDs and the application process, planning your application and managing your time, locating further resources to support your application and understanding how to successfully meet challenges.

Student Minds is a charity which aims to spread awareness of and aid students suffering or recovering from eating disorders. Warwick's talk group is held on Mondays from 6:30pm in Meeting Room 6 of SUHQ. These groups are run by 2 facilitators who are there to guide the conversations - the talk groups are not seen as an alternative to formal treatment, but as a place for students suffering or recovering from eating disorders to discuss troubles in a safe and confidential environment.

In collaboration with Careers & Skills, the University are running a workshop entitled ‘Train, Teach, Inspire: an information evening about teaching as a career' on Tuesday. It promises to provide a useful insight into different paths into teaching (both at Warwick and elsewhere) - the event takes place on 19th November and you'll need to register in advance through myAdvantage.

St John Ambulance is the first aid and health & safety trainer of choice for hundreds of thousands of companies, local authorities, and members of the public. Now you can complete an Essential First Aid Course (all ages) at Warwick University which includes CPR, choking, chest pains, bleeding, unconscious casualty and communication and casualty care.

Courses costs £20 (free to Warwick LINKS members who have attended five weekly meetings) - there are two this term, one on Wednesday 20th November and another on Thursday 5th December. To sign up click here.

On Wednesday 21st November from 6:30pm in Copper Rooms 1, come and see 9 members of Latin and Ballroom take to the stage with members from 9 different sport club exec members. With sparkling glitterball trophies and club glory to tempt the couples, it is sure to be a spectacular show! Tickets are on sale now via the SU website.

The Institution of Advanced Psychological Therapy is running its stress, anxiety and low-mood management sessions again from 11am-1pm in MR6 on Fridays. The sessions take place once a week - visit for more information and to sign up!

Are you interested in grabbing a seat on Student Council and discussing issues relevant to Postgrads here at the University? If so, come along to the Postgraduate Association meeting this Friday from 6-8pm in The Mighty Duck. There'll be free food, and the bar will also be open for business!

On 1st December, Warwick SU will be helping to clean up the canal in Leamington Spa from 11am-12pm. As part of our Love Community campaign, we are really keen to do all we can to help make our local area a better place. We would love it if you could spare just an hour to come down and help out. If you are interested, please sign up, and tell your friends, societies and clubs too! If you want to meet in Leamington we will be meeting at 11am at St. Mary Road bridge, or alternatively someone will be meeting at the bus stop from campus beforehand.
