It's nearly the summer holidays! Since the college is wrapping up for the semester, our offices are now closing until we welcome students back on campus in August. 

On the 1st of July, we'll welcome our new officer team for 2024-25: Adam, Caitlin, and Sukinder. Over the summer holidays, they will be working to plan out the activities for the next academic year, as well as getting ready to welcome all new and continuing students to the College in August. 

If you need to get in touch with us, we will still be working to support you.
