Happy New Year! We trust you all had a
relaxing Christmas break and are ready to get stuck back in for Term 2. Following up on the issues raised last term, SU Postgrad Officer Lucy Gill is
currently looking into the problems surrounding Postgraduate Teaching Pay – please see below if you’ve been affected by this!
In the meantime, things show no sign of slowing down here at the Union – for starters, ONE WORLD WEEK will return in Week 3,
bringing you the perfect opportunity to explore the various cultures which make up Warwick’s diverse student body. Bandsoc’s annual BATTLE OF
THE BANDS tournament will also be rearing its head from Week 4 onwards, while our sports teams will be gearing up for another shot at the
VARSITY title in the latter half of term. All this plus the massive REAL ALE FESTIVAL in Week 6, the
Officer Elections and our various campaign weeks – this term including Disability Awareness Week, Animal Ethics Week, Sexual
Health Awareness Week and Women’s Week. We look forward to seeing you out and about!

We’d like to hear from Postgrads who teach (or hourly-paid teachers) about holiday pay. Are you confused? Have you been paid
correctly, either for your holidays or for last term’s teaching? Have the University been in touch to issue you with new/corrected contracts or
updated Terms & Conditions? Email postgrads@warwicksu.com with all the details!

Next week, all research students are invited to attend a reception hosted by the Graduate School. The evening is an opportunity
