No Images? Click here College activitiesThis week we will look at a handful of the activities you can look forward to when you join us. SportCollege sport is a great way to socialise, try something new, or keep going with a sport you already enjoy doing. There is no pressure to play competitively, although many college members do enjoy inter-college tournaments and our yearly Varsity fixture against the University of Durham. At Langwith, sport is at the heart of our community! From Football, to squash, netball to hockey we have a sport for you! We take part in termly fixtures between all the other colleges and even compete in a Varsity competition once a year with our sister college at Durham University! This year in Langwith we have also hosted our very own sports awards, as well as put more of an emphasis on making sport a spectator activity as well! Check out the Activities Fair during freshers week to make sure you sign up to college sports at Langwith. College LeadershipIf you don’t find what you are looking for in college, why not create it? Your college is there to support your ideas, and maybe even fund them. The college committees receive a programme of professional development, but this is open to all students. So whether you’ve got grand plans, or just want to make small changes, the college is there to facilitate your ambitions. “My role as President of the Langwith CSA was the most valuable experience of my time at York. Being President allowed me to meet a diverse range of students, work with fellow students and staff to make important decisions throughout the University, and I made some friends for life in the process." George Rance, Langwith CSA President 2018/19 College VolunteeringThere are opportunities to volunteer and receive training as a college mentor, help out with social events, become President of a sports team and much more. Colleges also benefit from good links with local charities and organisations. You will be encouraged to get involved in giving something back to our lovely city. We always have something going on in Langwith, from Baking sessions, to arts and crafts workshops, bar crawls far and wide as well as our campus bar holding their club event ‘Marmite’ twice a term, you’ll always have something to do in Langwith.
