If you’re a PhD student teacher - you could win an award too in our new category ‘Best Student Teacher’.
Protest with #CutTheCosts
The government is planning to scrap NHS Bursaries from 2017. Together we can fight and defeat these cuts that will saddle healthcare students with yet more debt.
Christ Church Students' Union will be joining the National Union of Students (NUS) on Wed 25th May for a day of lobbying at Westminster.
Would you like to come with us? www.ccsu.co.uk/yourvoice/campaigns/cutcosts/
What are your plans after uni?
It’s the worst question and everyone is asking! But fear not, the union and university are working together to ease your transition into being a fully functioning member of society.
Come along to ‘Life after Uni’, a week of workshops on social media, CV writing, interviews, employability skills and understanding your finance. Book onto the workshops via the CORE on Blackboard
The main event is on Wednesday 11 May 4-6pm in Augustine House.
Plus Nicola Ward, your President (Education & Wellbeing) is working on a Graduate Guide with loads of tips and information to help you find a job, a house, make sense of your finances and all about the benefits you get as a Christ Church alumni!
Inclusive Sports Day
Organised by Oliver Bryant, your Disabled Students’ Officer and Christ Church Sport, comes the second Inclusive Sports Day!
It’s on Saturday 23 April from 12 at the Sports Centre with loads of sports to get EVERYONE active!:
- Wheelchair Badminton
- Walking Football
- Goalball
- Sitting Volleyball
- Inclusive Gym
This is completely open to all. If you've never played these sports before it is a fantastic time to try something new! It's free to attend, so just come along and give it a go!
You Said, We Did
In Fill US In, you told us that you wanted the Sabbatical Officers to be more transparent and accessible. So we’ve given them all a Facebook profile! Add Nicola, Emily, Krum and Sophie as a friend and see what they’ve been up to in their role.
That's all for now so thanks for reading and maybe we'll see you at the Summer Ball!
