STUDENT NEWS

Spring is here...with a side of rain.

It might still be dreary and rainy, but spring has definitely sprung on campus! With Pride Fest, Market Day and club events throughout the past week, the campus hasn't slowed down - and doesn't show any sign of slowing yet.
Graduations begin on 10 September, so the campus may be a bit busier than usual over the next week.

Hopefully hayfever hasn't hit yet, and you can spend the next few weeks enjoying the weather warming up. Enjoy your week!
