End of term

It's the final day of term, but thinks are still hectic in the 'Societies Office'. I'm working with Joel, the SU Treasurer, for extending the awards scheme - and have more individual merits award in a laurel like ceremony.

We've also finalised the proceedings for Re-Freshers fair, which promises to function a true kick-start of the new academic term and calender year.

It's good to see that there are still a no of new societies setting-up: well done to the Georgian Society and Spanishi Diversitiy society. In the mean time, one of my additional projects - the benelux society - has almost reached the required no of members (any Dutch/Belgians/Luxembourgers reading this: do get in touch!).

A final positive note on the relations with the Media Group. Pulse FM is offering societies free jingles (all financed by SU) for their events. In return, I'll be working towards increasing the radio station's visibility within societies, through for instance web buttons that link to their site.
The Beaver has approached me about upgrading the society listings page. We'll hopefully be able to turn this into a full colour, high attractice page, providing students with their one-stop-shop to what's going on during the week.

Over the holiday, I'll be working at the Netherlands Competition Authority, and enjoying a nice break from study back home in The Hague (Netherlands). If anything of interest happens, I'll make sure to communicate this via a blog. In the mean time, I wish you all the best for the festive season, a great time with family and friends - and look forward to hearing from you in the coming year!
