We want all students and researchers to feel that they are part of a vibrant, inclusive staff-student community. With this in mind, the Student Experience team arrange cultural, intellectual and social events and activities throughout the year, often collaborating with students and societies.
For the 2020/21 academic year, a lot of activity will initially take place online, but all planning will be flexible so that activity can be changed to in-person or run bi-modally (i.e. online and in person) when this is feasible.
In the past, example community activity has included:
- Inclusivity events and projects
- Trips connected with the interests of a cohort, (e.g. Sacred Spaces (School of Philosophy, Theology & Religion) and trip to Hay Festival)
- Residentials (e.g. Stratford Summer residential - School of English, Drama & Creative Studies)
- Student conferences
- Winter soiree (School of Languages, Cultures, Art History and Music)
- Dissertation poster conference (School of History & Cultures)
- Research showcase event
- Cultural calendar celebration events
- Film nights
- Quizzes
- Competitions
- Games nights
- Support for student led activity e.g. a feminism group in EDACS and work on decolonising the curriculum across the College
- Student family mentoring schemes
- Departmental socials
- End of term socials
- Hand in socials
- Results day celebrations
- Graduation celebrations
