Sport and Activities, NUS training, Welcome 2012 and much more!
Hello to all you lovely folks out there who’re reading our blog!
As it was Christina’s turn to write a blog and she’s not here (as she is away in Canada - having a well deserved break!) Mishal & Tom have taken over (So for the benefits of you readers, perhaps you’d want to read this in a Northern Irish accent;))!
The Countdown to Welcome Week has officially begun! Whether you are a new or a returning student, just know that university time will undoubtedly be the most exciting time of your life – so make sure you make the most of your time here! We are very excited to bring you the best that Salford has to offer in terms of events, socials, parties, trips, tours, networking opportunities and advice/support with settling in. If you haven’t already done so, do press attending on our official facebook event https://www.facebook.com/events/381607268561110/and share the excitement with everyone!
Now is the perfect time to browse through the sports and activity groups and make a mental mind map of which ones you’d like to get involved with. You can also sign up online and be sure to keep an eye out for the Freshers’ Fair where these groups will have the chance to show-case what they do. You’ll have the opportunity to meet all of them in one place for these two days – do check them out: http://salfordstudents.com/minisites/?cat_id=3613
All preparations are still going on behind closed doors. Have a look and make sure you don’t miss out on anything! http://www.salfordstudents.com/welcome
So over the weeks since she last wrote she’s been to NUS training which Mishal and Eli have told you all about; special second year training which is just as exciting as it sounds. Other than that she’s been going to her presidential type meetings which more than likely contain several options of fruity teas and a fine selection of biscuits (they’re definitely the ones who steal the double chocolate chip ones!). No doubt these meetings take place in offices with comfy leather seats and come accompanied with pineapple deserts and a walk in wardrobe perhaps to store the jacket (I know what makes status! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-19333159).
On a more serious note there’s been meetings to discuss the impending Institutional review which is an independent review of the University focusing this year on students involvement in quality assurance. She’s also been at meetings regarding internationalisation, The Manchester College and PgT fees, all of which I’m sure you’ll be updated on in her next blog!
Jsut to anony Chirinsta I’ve diceedd to put in a snetcnee taht deons’t mkae too mcuh snsee, the perfect way to keep those obsessed with grammar happy on their blogs!! Didn’t mess with apostrophe’s though as they’re not for messing with!
