About Us Events Help & Information Get Involved Talk to us
Hello postgrads!
Happy Reading Week (if you’re lucky enough to get one, that is)! Hope you’re all sailing through Term 1 and things are going well. Last week, we had a number of Halloween events, including pizza and pumpkin-carving in The Graduate – thank you to everyone who attended, we had a wonderful time and the pumpkins looked amazing. Check out the photos on the SU Facebook and Instagram pages!
This week, we have our PG Quiz as always, Tuesdays at 7pm in The Graduate, plus the second instalment of Postgrad Connections! This month, we’ll be looking at all things organisation and time management, so head to The Graduate on Thursday 8th November from 4.30-6pm to have a mingle, chat, and pick up some tips from other postgrad students. As always, there’s food and drinks provided – don’t say we don’t treat you!
I’ll be meeting with the team from Warwick Accommodation soon to have a look at the housing application process for postgrad students, and I need your help! I’ve written a nifty survey to find out all about your housing experiences – so please fill it in via the link below if you have any comments (good or bad) to make!
As you’ll know, a couple of weeks ago we elected our Postgrad Exec in the SU. Now that we’ve had a chance to meet, we’ve come up with our priorities for the year! Our plan is to focus on creating more social opportunities for postgrads, both within the SU and through societies and sports clubs; providing more volunteering, networking and teaching opportunities; and getting more academic and wellbeing resources for postgrads. We’re really looking forward to the year ahead and seeing how much we can achieve, so keep your eyes peeled for updates on how we’re getting on!
See you soon,
Ellie.
