Freshers: can I get involved?
As Freshers approaches, we want to assure our students that our schedule has been designed for students from all backgrounds, we want to make our spaces and activities are as inclusive and positive as possible. We asked students what their experience at Freshers 2021 was like and have taken their feedback onboard. Over the last 12 months, we have worked hard with students, officers and university services to make sure that we are offering events for all students, so they can find likeminded people and make friends for life. We know that Freshers is heavily associated with partying, but we want to make sure that this is not the only event-type on offer. Here are some of our amazing events that could tick your box...
Viking Crafts for Children - Student Parent and Carer event
We have teamed up with Wirral Unplugged to bring you an amazing child-friendly event that you can bring little ones to. An exciting and innovative way to learn for both adults and children.
