INFORMATION PLATFORM

I am working towards collecting all important information relevant to freshers and their first year experience at St Andrews. I am doing so in two ways:

1. Class of 2024 Instagram

It will contain information on five major categories:

student societies, sports clubs, and subcommittees i.e. what they do, their events in the past/upcoming year, ways that students can get involved, committee positions available, and relevant website/contact details. There are over a hundred societies and fifty sports clubs, but I will get in touch with each one of them and gather the aforementioned information through a form. I have also arranged for them to takeover the @standrews2024 Instagram everyday from June 30- September 10 to interact with freshers and answer any questions they might have.

each accommodation; Senior student of each hall will take over the Instagram in the first week of August, right around the time when most accommodation offers have been made. They will introduce themselves, share pictures of kitchens, common rooms, bedrooms, washrooms, etc and have a Q&A to answer any questions freshers may have about the hall they are meant to live in. 

different services and opportunities offered by the university i.e. Peer Support, Student Services, CAPOD etc. They have also been outlined in a very comprehensive and useful way in the Annually published Union book, but I will condense the information into accessible graphics and share them on the Instagram and Facebook group.

2. Freshers Microsite with the Director of Events and Services

I will assist the DoES with uploading as much relevant information as possible to the freshers microsite on the yourunion website
