With Term 1 in full swing, we know that university life might not be living up to your initial expectations, or that some of you may be struggling to fit in or adapt to a new routine. That’s why we’re launching a brand new campaign to let you know that It’s OK to feel this way - you’re not alone, and there is plenty of support available.

We’re hosting drop-in sessions throughout the week in the Ikea Membership Space (situated next to the Chemist in the SU Atrium), where you’ll be able to chat to members of our Advice & Welfare team about anything that’s on your mind. Remember, a problem shared is a problem halved!

The other two big events on campus this week are the return of the All Student Meeting today (make sure you check out the motions and vote online from Noon on Tuesday if you can’t make it along!), together with Pride Week: a celebration of the LGBTUA+ community on campus and around the world.

SU Welfare Officer LUKE PILOT blogs on our new wellbeing campaign for students, which launches this week and provides an opportunity for those who feel like they’re struggling to chat about all aspects of university life.

Your chance to debate the motions submitted for consideration this term – everyone’s invited to come along to the meeting at 5:30pm in the SU Atrium to have their say! Online voting opens at 9am on Tuesday and closes at 12noon on Friday. Don’t let decisions be made on your behalf!

Week 7 is Pride Week on campus, featuring a range of events designed to celebrate sexuality and gender diversity here at Warwick. Keep an eye on the Warwick Pride website for further updates!

The process for registering to vote has recently changed, and it’s important that students still get the chance to participate in local and national elections – visit our website for more info, plus a chance to win tickets to SU events!

SU Sports Officer ALEX ROBERTS blogs on the Sports Therapy facilities available in Coventry, which can now by accessed by Warwick students.

Our Academic Representation team will be holding a coffee and cake session for all Course Reps this week from 2pm-3:30pm on Tuesday in SUHQ Meeting Room 7.

The festive menu for our restaurant will be running throughout Weeks 9, 10 & 11 and is now available to view online – advance booking is recommended, as we’re always busy in the last few weeks of term!

Campus Police Officer Fiona Jay is running various sessions on crime prevention over the coming weeks, with the chance to get a free D-lock for your bike.

Global Entrepreneurship Week is a student-led celebration of the innovators who launch startups that bring ideas to life, drive economic growth and expand human welfare. This year's event takes place from 16th-19th November on campus.

Do you want to inspire the next generation of potential university applicants by visiting local schools and Further Education institutions to tell them more about your own experiences as a student? If so, apply for this year’s Warwick Inspire programme!

More dates now added - choose from traffic-free beginners courses on Wednesdays or on-road courses for improvers on Thursdays, both starting 5.30pm.

The University is currently running a survey on Taxi usage on campus – there’s a chance to win a £50 Book Shop voucher for those who contribute.

The next step in the student consultation on a new Humanities Building is now online – click through to have your say!

Do you have a creative eye, the ability to produce great videos or the knack for writing fantastic essays? If so, the newly-launched Chancellor’s Commission competition has a total prize fund of £3000 in various categories.

Just one week left to apply for the Opportunity Fund, which provides bursaries to clubs, societies and other groups of students (as well as individual students) to help fund extra-curricular activities!
