Hi postgrads
Two big pieces of news this week: first up, nominations for the Spring Elections open today at Noon! This is your chance to have a massive impact on student life at Warwick by putting yourself forward as a candidate and running to be a student rep during the 2019-20 academic year. If you have ideas which you think could improve the SU, the University or the general student experience here at Warwick, we want to hear from YOU – previous Officers have been responsible for such amazing campaigns as the 24-Hour Library, a Postgraduate pay review, #WeGetConsent and #ReshapingSport, to name just a few. Now it’s your turn to help shape the future of your Union!
Alternatively, if you’re new to Warwick or haven’t had the chance to get as involved in student life as much as you’d have liked so far, make sure you come along to the Something For You Fair on Tuesday. Here, you can find out all about the incredible range of opportunities that the SU offers - from Sports Clubs and Societies to welfare, food & drink, volunteering, jobs and campaigning, this is your chance to learn more about how we can benefit YOU during your time at university. There’ll be loads of freebies and useful info available on the day, while the other Student Officers and I will also be on-hand to answer any questions you may have.
We look forward to seeing you there!
