It's the summer holidays! Since the college has wrapped up for the semester, our offices are now closed until we welcome students back on campus in August.
On the 1st of July, we'll welcome our new officer team for 2023-24: Skye, Luna and Jon. 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.
