Festive Lunches: call for volunteers

Reading time: < 1 minute
The temperature is dropping, and it’s time to gear up for this year’s Festive Lunches! We’re excited to make these celebrations better than ever for our students, and we need your help to do it.

We’re looking for academic and Professional Services staff from across the University to host tables and give students an opportunity to build connections beyond the classroom. This is your chance to help foster our students’ sense of community and belonging.

Student Experience Services and the Sense of Belonging group organise these lunches as a well-deserved break from study for our students. It’s a chance for students to meet and chat with each other and staff in a relaxed and festive environment. As well as the food, there’s festive music and a quiz with prizes to be won.

Why host a table?

By hosting a table, you’ll play a key role in bridging the gap between students and the wider university. Engage with students, share experiences, and make a meaningful impact in their academic journey.
