Hi Simmies,
I hope you’ve all had a great start to the year. It’s been amazing meeting so many of you during Freshers’ Week, and I’m really looking forward to working with you all this year.
Over the summer I’ve been doing lots and lots of planning behind the scenes. Now I’m excited to finally start putting those plans into action.
October is going to be a busy month. I’m starting to push forward some of my manifesto priorities, particularly around student safety and the Refectory. I’ll also keep pushing for the return of the Wednesday night bus, which I’m hoping we can get up and running as soon as possible.
October also marks my first campaign of the year: Simmie Safety Week. I wanted to run it as close to the start of the academic year as possible, so you can learn more about the support, services and resources available to help keep you safe at St Mary’s and beyond.
Please get involved throughout the week. And if you ever need support, don’t hesitate to reach out to me at studentlifepresident@stmarys.ac.uk.
Keep an eye out for more events, campaigns and updates throughout October. I’m so excited for the year ahead!
