Back in HQ - everyone survived the snow! Well we are back into the full swing of things and had a refocusing exercise on Monday and I think it was beneficial to sit down and see what needs doing!
Anyways, January looks as though it will be a crazy month in terms of campaigns. The 'What's your attitude' Campaign is going out to the colleges over the next day or so. The SHAG campaign is coming along too - Ciaran and Hugh have done a great job on it so far. Also a new drinks / antisocial campaign is something which we hope to roll out very soon and it looks like a decent campaign already so I am quiet pleased with it so far. Quality is a term that we are focusing on and with the amalgamation of the quality and awarding bodies we must ensure that student representation and student involvement in the new body is a central mantra.
The Activist Academy is on in Athlone on the 21st and 22nd of January. I am very excited about this and Dan has done a smashing job in getting it together. We already have good numbers for the event and I am looking forward to it!
The presidents will also be meeting at a special President Working Group to have a discussion on Congress. The dates for congress are March 29th to April 1st and the timelines for motions and elections can be found on the USI website. We are updating the website regularly so if you get a chance do have a look.
I will be heading to Belfast next week and am looking forward to visiting NUS-USI and perhaps the SU’s of QUB and UU should time allow. On Monday I will be at a workshop in the Dublin Civic Offices on the theme of ‘Dublin as an international students’ city’.
I had a good rest over the Christmas and New Year periods and am rearing to go again for what will be my last few months in the student movement!
