About Us Events Help & Information Get Involved Talk to us
Hello Postgrads!
I can’t believe we’re already at the end of October – this year seems to be flying by! I hope you’re all settled and have found your feet at Warwick in your departments, in Societies and Sports Clubs, and here at the SU. As always, if you need any help with anything at all, we’re here for you, so don’t hesitate to contact us.
Last week, our newly-elected Postgrad Exec met for the first time! We had lots to discuss, and set our priorities for the year. We will be working on a postgrad events programme and more social opportunities – especially for international students – more careers and networking opportunities, along with better welfare support for postgrads. We hope to make significant changes in these areas this year - if you have any ideas about what kind of things you’d like to see us do, please let us know!
We’ve had some great events recently, from the Acoustic Jam night on Friday to the pumpkin-carving Halloween treat that’s taking place tonight! We’ve also had a load of Postgrad Researchers sign up to the Potential Advantage programme, which looks at how personality and wellbeing can support people in their studies. They’ve undertaken questionnaires, had some doggy de-stress and yoga sessions, and will soon be doing 1-to-1 interviews about their development.
As I mentioned last week, I am currently getting feedback from students about their experiences with Warwick Accommodation and their housing for this year. If you have any comments at all, then please email me via ellie.king@warwicksu.com
See you soon,
Ellie.
