Hi
I hope you are all enjoying the beautiful British summer!
Here at UPSU we’re still working away, preparing for the new year and organising events and activities for the Induction Period.
We have welcomed Tom and Ed to the sabbatical officer team, and have been doing a lot of teambuilding and training with them so that we can be well prepared to continue representing students in the new academic year. Plans are coming on well for the year, though it’s clear how quickly the year fills up! (In post-it form anyway!)
Planning the year as a new team
Illusion is having a bit of a make-over, it’s got a new coat of paint and the long ramp has been removed – making the room more flexible for bands/events etc
Planning for Welcome week is going well, we have made plans for the Freshers’ Ball on the 29th September, and Chris and I have been hard at work putting the plans together for sports and societies fair on the 27th. From today it is exactly 1 month until the start of Arrivals week, when I will be running training for the Angels, who will be helping new students settle in to life at the University of Plymouth.
We also have an exciting new development in the form of UPSU’s very first venture into Student Radio. We still need a name for this – so if you have any ideas, please let me know (vpactivities@upsu.com). The idea is to start off this year with some podcasts, run by students for students as with all things UPSU – so get in touch if you think you have the gift of the gab/face for radio!
Look out for the first podcasts (probably all about welcome week!) coming soon!
That’s all from me for today
See you in September
James
