The Beaver are planning a special Summer Term issue. If you are planning any end-of-year events this term, please continue to send them in to su.societies@lse.ac.uk.

…And Finally
Having served you all for a full year, it’s now time for me to move on... I’ll be finishing my bachelor degree this year and moving on to a postgraduate degree in management next year (partly at LSE, partly in Chicago).
It’s been a pleasure to work with you all and to get to know so many of you.

My successor, Carys Morgan, will take office from the first day of Summer Term. Being Societies Officer has been an excellent and highly worthwhile experience and I’m sure Carys will enjoy it as much as I have done over the past year.
