Hey Guys,
Next week is one my favourite weeks as a DBS student..., its Student Week! This week celebrates all of the amazing individuals that we have here at DBS. As your Ents Officer, I take great pride in making sure that you guys have the best time possible while you are a student here at DBS and I always look forward to meeting some new faces and hearing how you are getting on in and out of college.
One of the most unique things about DBS is our vibrant and diverse student community. This week, as well as having a number of EPIC events lined up (and they really are epic), we will also be catching up with you guys with on our daily Instagram Live chats. These are one my favourite things to do each week because we get to hear from random students about how they are and where they are from. It's always so entertaining, super random and full of laughs. My advice for you is to keep an eye out for this all next week, and of course come along to the great events our team have lined up for you.
See you soon!
Conor Rubalcava.
Ents Officer. |
