Dear all,

I have been very inactive with blogging over a good few weeks.  I apologise for this.

Now that my coursework and everything degree-related is (almost) over, I have been working on many different projects within the Guild.  I will detail them further very soon.

Upcoming events include:

• The International Students’ Association AGM on June the 6th, 5-8 pm in Guild Council Chambers;
• A film night on June the 7th by the ISA;
• The Community Day on June 10th, 10 am – 4 pm, where I am planning on making a “global flag” from Birmingham to the world; where people of all ages will print their hands on a strip of material;
• The final Guild Council of this academic year on June 13th!

I am currently working with the ISAS on their Welcome events for next year, and am planning on training the new ISA committee in working together – through a team building workshop.  I am also working on Internationalising the Guild project, which would follow the Internationalisation strategy guidelines provided by the NUS.

I also attended the NUS Sections – International Students – Conference on May 9th-10th.  It was packed with elections, motions and debates.  I will indicate my votes and explanations shortly.

Thanks,

Noorie

P.S. Good luck to all of you who still have exams left!
