As we approach the end of the semester and head into the festive break, I want to take a moment to reflect on everything we’ve accomplished together as a student community. On behalf of myself, our President, and the entire Students' Union team, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each one of you for your incredible support, enthusiasm, and participation throughout this semester. This has been a truly exciting and eventful term, and it’s all thanks to YOU.
Celebrating Our Achievements Together:
This semester, we’ve seen the Students’ Union come to life with a host of fantastic activities, events, and campaigns that brought us all closer together. From participating in Speak Week to making Freshers' Fayre a huge success, celebrating Diwali, getting involved in Cardiff Clash, and supporting our Period Dignity campaign, this semester has been full of energy and achievements. I’m proud to share that we’ve also made significant success, including becoming Wales’s first SU and University to be harm reduction accredited by SOS-UK.
Looking Ahead: Exciting Events and Initiatives:
As we approach the new year, there are plenty more exciting events and activities to look forward to, and we are committed to continuing our support for you in every way possible. Events like the Re-Freshers Fayre, Varsity vs Bath, Student Elections, BUCS competitions, our Awards Nights, Centro events, etc. these are just a few things to keep an eye on. There will be plenty of opportunities to continue making your mark by joining the SU crew, Workshops, Course Rep recruitment, etc. whether you’re competing, campaigning, or celebrating with friends.
Continued Support for You:
As your Student Officer, my role is to make sure that your experience at Cardiff University is the best it can be. Whether it’s through the Student Advice, our growing Sports teams and Societies, or our Rep structures, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
The Students’ Union will continue to offer support, guidance, and opportunities to all students, regardless of where you’re at in your university journey. If you need help, whether it’s academic advice, personal support, or guidance on getting involved, don’t hesitate to reach out to us, after our return in New Year.
A Final Thank You
On behalf of myself, our President, and the entire Students’ Union team, thank you once again for your involvement, support, and passion. It has been a true pleasure working alongside you all this semester, and we look forward to continuing this journey together.
Have a wonderful, relaxing break, and stay tuned for more exciting events and initiatives in the new year. We can’t wait to see what we’ll achieve together in 2025! Meanwhile here’s the Christmas Closure Article- for further assistance during the break.
Thanks!
Merry Christmas and Happy New year.
