Warwick is currently the only Top 10 UK University which doesn’t have a 24-Hour Library, and last year students voted in overwhelming numbers to change this. The Sabbatical Officer team recently submitted its final report to the University on this issue, which is made up of student feedback from a range of disciplines, backgrounds and year-groups. We’ve now published it on the SU website for anyone who’d like to read the compelling case made – see below for further details, and watch this space for any future announcements on this subject!
Week 7 sees the return of GO GREEN WEEK, while #TeamWarwick will head into battle as they take on their arch-rivals from Coventry University at the annual VARSITY showdown. We’re selling tickets for the Ice Hockey clash at Coventry Skydome, together with the Rugby Union finale at the Ricoh Arena – all prices include return transport, so there’s never been a better opportunity to turn up and show your support!
