Hello again!
The beginning of a new month is approaching, and with it a new abundance of events. The upcoming fortnight hosts a variation of parties, tastings and community events. Additionally, there are a few dates to look forward to for those looking for job opportunities.
Although this is not a weather forecast, as it is very much topical I’d like to briefly remind you of the dangers of wet ice. The campus area might be very slippery for a while.
Stay safe and enjoy the rest of January,
