Welcome back to the rest of your ECSA-lent Year! 🎉

Happy New Year to you all, now I know how happy you all are to be back and are eager to smash semester 2, and those of you who are just joining us were happy to have you as part of the team.

Now as many of you will have heard we are back into lockdown for the foreseeable future, but here at ECSA we are always a glass is half full bunch, so we want to get everyone's spirits up and looking forward to all of the exciting things we have coming up throughout the year.

Another blog post incoming from me, your President! I hope you are all well and adjusting to the dark nights and cold winter mornings that are now upon us. Halloween is officially over and you know what that means – Christmas is on the way!

Christmas brings a whole new dimension for students…Christmas nights out and Christmas presents… how on earth do we manage to get through December and January on minimal income?

President's Update - Welcome

Since it has been the coldest summer in the UK for about 35 years, let me give all our new and returning students a warm welcome to Edinburgh College.

The welcome weeks seen around 5500 students pass through the doors of the college and it was a pleasure to be a part of the induction and meeting everyone who attended.

Firstly, I would like to thank each and every one of the Students’ who voted in the Big Elections. It’s fair to say that despite the strike day we turned out in hundreds and voted to elect our Full Time Officers for next year.

It's December already and Christmas has snuck up on us again! I hope and pray everyone is coping well with assessments etc, before the semester ends and can take the time to relax, spend time with family and take part in some much needed self-care.

Apologies for taking so long to update you on what I’ve been up to and being honest I don’t even know where to start.

Neal's blog: Wake Me Up When September Ends!!

Last week concluded our class rep talks and all that remains is for LDTs to register the elected reps and book them on the training. The training is slowly coming together and for the first time we will be launching our new class rep handbook which will be available to class reps for a quick glance reference guide to dealing with everyday student problems and issues.

Neal's blog: Certainly not a week to be Board with!

Monday being a public holiday meant no work for us as the college was closed. It was however my birthday and having the chance to take self-care and spend time with my two children was welcomed with open arms.

Monday can only mean one thing and that’s our team meeting time. With a new month fast approaching and Freshers’ only a week away there was loads of planning and organising to do. We put the final pieces of the puzzle together and delegated specific tasks out to one another for ensuring the events run as smoothly as possible.
