Hello everyone. I hope you are enjoying the new semester, and that any exams you had during January went as well as you had hoped. As you may have noticed on social media, and through our weekly newsletter, the past few weeks have been very busy for all of us at Undeb Bangor.

We condemn such behaviour, and want to be clear that Bangor University, and Undeb Bangor, will not tolerate any incidents of this nature. We have a…

Undeb Bangor & Liberation Campaigns Well, folks, February’s passed – and with it, half the semester. How time flies!

So let’s talk about these ‘History Months’ – or…

I have managed to secure 4 more water fountains around campus which is something we’ve been asked for monthly for well over a year and I hope that this is the start to a wider rollout! I have also continued…
