Message From The President
Hi!
Firstly, welcome to The University of York, but more importantly, to Alcuin! The college's at York provide a really unique opportunity for students to really get involved with every aspect of student life here at the University, and are much more than just a place to live! We hope as you settle in you'll see Alcuin is so much more than just your room and your flat. It's a really lively, diverse community, a support network and most importantly, a family. On behalf of the CSAC, we hope you feel as proud and excited to be part of Alcuin as we are! We volunteer our time and energy into improving and bettering the student experience to make sure your time with us as jam packed with as many opportunities as possible, whether that be through events, college sport or our RAG, volunteering or environment activities - or even all three! I’d encourage you all to get involved with as much as possible, whether that’s across the college or the university, to really make the most out of your time here, to keep building and improving on the student community and gaining skills to boost your CV. Have fun and get stuck in, and I hope you love Alcuin as much as we do! Emily Ferriby-Gotts (President) |
