Bank Holiday Week

• I talked about academic issues with the Dean of Health and Social Care, June Girvin, and the Dean of Life Sciences, Linda King. There are lots of opportunities to build a good relationship with your School this year
• Some Students' Union staff learnt how to get the most out of meetings so I can use these skills to make reps council productive and start campaigns
• The Students' Union staff got together to discuss the future of the Students' Union - the University is planning a 'campus of the future' and we want to be in the middle of it representing you
• I've been busy planning the library opening hours campaign to make it really successful!
