  1. WriteFest 2019 and AcWriMo

It’s the final day of #AcWriFest19.  Ends signal new beginnings and the perfect time for reflection.  We’ve spoken to some of you at our #AcWriFest19 events about how your writing has developed this month.  Let us know the biggest changes for you.

  1. Students’ Union Survey

 The Students’ Union has a survey out at the moment which will inform their strategy going forward. The next strategy will heavily influence the next five years of SU work.  The survey closes on Saturday 30 November and PGR students are encouraged to participate.  In the past there has been feedback from PGR’s about the SU not being fit for them or not an organisation they feel a part of, so this is a chance to put forward your thoughts, whatever they might be, in the survey.

If you participate in the survey and enter your Student ID, you will have the chance to win £250 in cash, or £100 in Hallam merchandise, or £50 food voucher to use at Hideout bar in the SU.

You can access the survey via: https://www.hallamstudentsunion.com/hallamhowareyou/
