Welcome all!

Hello to all new students at UWE! This is my 2nd year of being the Sports President here at the Students’ Union, so hopefully I’ve picked up a fair bit of knowledge since I finished my Drama degree last in 07. Being a drama girl does mean that when I get the chance to do a bit of public speaking, I completely milk the limelight (so apologies in advance, if you have to experience it).
This year I am planning to facilitate some student led groups such as the disabled students group, and a self awareness/defence day with our combat sports clubs.
Being part of a club opens up many opportunities for a small price. You'll meet plenty of friends, you’ll have the chance to represent the University in Competitions, (which in the past have led to national and even international success - Pete Reed part of the Olympic gold coxless 4!). You'll also have the chance to become part of a club committee; this will not only aid your personal development but also enrich your CV! It’s easy to get involved in a club and if you’re not sure – just give me an email!
Have a fab time at UWE and get involved in plenty so you get the most out of your University Experience!
Cheers all!!
Lily
