What our Students Union has to offer you!

Uncategorized.

Hey guys,

As my time at City University will soon be coming to an end I thought I would do a blog talking about all the extra curricular activities that are on offer. I’ll start by telling you about the Student Union Student Awards Evening I went to on Thursday the 9th April.

I was invited because I’ve been acting as the Media Operations and Coordinator for the Student Union Media Team. I applied for the role last year because I thought I’d like to help promote the things the Student Union does as well as it being a good experience and one that would be good to add to my c.v. too. It’s also turned out as a nice way to meet people because we have a few media outlets such as our radio station, Uni magazine and onscreen video team as well as our City online website!

The Awards Night was a nice way to finish off the year. We had a lovely drinks reception (with complimentary Prosecco!) and then a great Awards Ceremony which featured various performances from different student groups like the Dance, Bhangra, Treble Clef and Beatboxing societies, some singers and more!

Anyway back to the Awards Ceremony, it was a fun evening and a chance to celebrate all the great achievements there have been in the Student Union this year.

After all the awards had been given out, all the tables were pulled back to create a dance floor for the after party to dance the night away!! It was a great evening – You guys have so much to look forward to starting Uni!
