To all of you who experienced Welcome Week 09 at the Guild last week, we hope you had a great week!

The busy week welcomed new and existing students to the Guild via a range of fairs and events all designed to make your first week as enjoyable as possible. More students than ever came to the Guild in search of part-time work, and to find out how to get involved in volunteering or student groups and society's.

But don't miss out just because Welcome Week is offically over. It's not too late to get involved in a student group or volunteering project. E-mail studentgroups@guild.bham.ac.uk or visit the Student Development Department, between 11am and 5.30pm Monday to Thursday; and 11am to 4.30pm on Fridays for further information/queries.
