This Week...

A cheeky little round up of what I've been up to this week:

I met with careers about the PERSONAL SKILLS AWARD (PSA) which is the University's employability award and helps students to be recognised and to stand out to employers. It involves a programme of completing skills modules which will appear on your transcript, or through participation in extra-curricular activities (ie ALL THE FANTASTIC WORK YOU GUYS ARE ALREADY DOING!!). Places are limited to sign up; I will have more information for the Student Group Meeting, but if you want more information now, check out www.as.bham.ac.uk/psa.

I've been chatting with TWO NEW START UP SOCIETIES this week - RUBS (Rounders:University of Birmingham Squad) and No to ID Card society - exciting times - keep an eye out Societies Fair (24th and 25th September)!
Redbrick are looking at an exciting joint student group venture: if Top Gear, Media, Fund-raising or Fun grabs your attention, then contact Redbrick at redbrick@guild.bham.ac.uk!!

Student Development Strategy is another biggy I am working on at the moment with Student Development staff - this is looking into the core focus of student development, the key activities of the department, and how we measure and monitor those activities. It's really hard and complicated stuff, but the outcome will be super duper and communicated to all students and staff.

Another big activity for this week has been Shortlisting candidates for a number of vacant Guild staff positions - very time-consuming but very interesting and important for the Guild!!

The Sabbs have also been busy working on Know Your Guild...it's going to be big and it's going to be amazing...but that is all I can say for now :) !!

Its great hearing what you are all up to and what you have planned for the coming year, so make sure you keep in touch!!
