RSS Weekly Digest

RSS Quiz
We will be hosting a welcome event and ‘pub’ quiz for newly enrolled research students on Friday the 1st October at 17:30 in the RSS Common Room (and the Cafe outside there). IRO have kindly agreed to supply us with a glass of wine or two each, as well as juice for all you non-drinkers out there. You are also invited to bring you own drinks if more than a couple of glasses of wine is what you require on a Friday afternoon! If you wish to attend, please email Charlie.fielding@uws.ac.uk by this Friday the 24th September, if you haven’t already, to help us arrange the quiz teams and drinks.

Welcome Event
There will be a second welcome party event, held in the Union on the 8th October, to which you are all invited to mingle with new students, staff and IRO alike. Again, please email Charlie if you intend to attend.

Election
The election will begin by email a week today and be open for one week – keep your eye out for next week’s newsletter as it will contain a link to the webpage where you can vote. There will be only one vote allocated for each email address on the mailing list so without that email you won’t be able to vote!

Mailing List
If anyone knows of any research student who is not on this mailing list, please let me know. If that research student would like to exercise their vote next week but not be a permanent member of the mailing list, this can be arranged – please let me know.

New Student Guide
Hard copies of the new student guide are in the RSS Common Room for anyone who wants one.

Faculty Representatives
Could those students who have been nominated/elected as student Faculty representatives please email me to let me know who you are.
