I hope you've all had a wonderful festive season and the best of luck with the year ahead. I hope 2018 to be an unforgettable and prosperous year for us all! 

It has been a relatively quiet month in terms of activities outside of uni with deadline season at its peak. Spending time with family and friends over the holiday season was a much welcomed break and with 2018 comes a fresh outlook..

🎓 The First Meeting with the Education Team 🎓

The Education Team @ LuL

The campaign grows from strength to strength and I am very excited for the year ahead as we have a lot of fresh new faces and ideas to take forward into 2018. As the core team has grown a lot this year, splitting off into smaller teams was a natural response.

The newly-formed Education team met for the first time and we set out our targets for the first half of the coming year. I'm most excited about establishing a networks with inner London schools to deliver workshops aimed at educating students as well as teachers about the current policies regarding access to student finance and potential barriers migrants might face in the process. 

The LuL team also met up this holiday for our Xmas Social which was lovely as the group got to bond outside of our fortnightly meetings, with Secret Santa gifts and various games keeping us entertained.

🍻🍴 ChemSoc Christmas Dinner (AGAIN!) 🍴🍻

It's become a bit of a tradition to be at the Chem Soc Xmas Dinner which is always hosted in a fancy hotel somewhere near Campus in last week of term. This year, 120 odd chemists were ushered into the Millenium Gloucester Hotel for the yearly festivities.

After kind words from senior staff members, three courses of food was served out before the dancefloor was crowded with eager chemists ready to shake a leg. I'd have to say this was by far the best Xmas Dinner; dancing didn't stop until the very last minutes of the night.
