Welcome Week was… just sooo vibrant!

After over 2 months of getting ready for the September semester, the Welcome Week finally arrived. Monday in Bedford, Tuesday in Luton, Wednesday Bedford again, and then once again back to Luton, it overall couldn’t have gone any better!

From representing the SU on Freshers’ Fair stalls and when meeting students, to Induction speeches, to way-finding and guiding students to their classrooms for the first time, advertising merchandise and activities and to doing it all over again the next day. Each new student interaction felt as inspiring as the previous one.

And when I thought the week couldn’t get any better, I happen to get the great opportunity of being introduced by our University’s Vice Chancellor, Deborah Johnston and Mohammad Yasin, Member of Parliament for Bedford. We discussed ways of keeping connected and working together to get students involved and their voices heard.

Earlier in the role, I’ve also had the chance to meet Rachel Hopkins, Member of Parliament for Luton South and South Bedfordshire, who is also an alumna of our University.
