Welcome Week chats

For me the most interesting aspect of Welcome Week was the chance to speak to thousands of students. This ranged from intense 1 on 1 discussions about standing in elections and running campaigns to standing on the stage of the deb hall in neon attire trying to condense the Guild's message into a few sentences to partying Freshers. I found both of these extremes and everything in between (speaking to small groups of students on a stall or giving a talk to around 400 medical students) really useful.

It's not just about spreading the word about the Guild and making sure that if students have questions or problems they know that the Guild is there to help. Whilst communicating our message is crucial it is also important to fulfill the feedback loop and listen to the views of as many students as possible. I've had some great discussions over the last week and hope that this trend continues throughout year!
