President Mark Barrow – Two years with Undeb Bangor

0
By on Union News

That’s it then…after two years working at Undeb Bangor, I’ve reached my final week, and will officially complete my term as President at 5pm on Friday 26th June. As when coming to an end of any chapter of your life, it is natural to go through a period of reflection. That is certainly the case for me, as I am also coming to the end of five years living in Bangor, and five years of association with Bangor University – initially as a student for three years, followed by my two years at Undeb Bangor. When I think back to…

By on Students' Union, Uncategorized, Volunteering

by Ally Jackson A brain injury has a dramatic impact on an individual’s life, whether it has been acquired through stroke, cancer, or a traumatic event. The effect of a brain injury varies from person to person  with cognitive issues ranging from emotional dysregulation, memory deficits and communication difficulties, and physical issues ranging from mild to severe impairment. Headway Gwynedd and Mon are a non-profit organisation who’s mission is to combat the social isolation which often accompanies these issues by promoting socio-emotional adjustment and connection. Crucially, they provide support and information for family, carers, and friends who are also impacted…

Your Sabbatical Officer Update-Lleucu Myrddin

Helo bawb! It’s scary to think that we’ll know who will be replacing us as a Sabb team next year within the next few weeks – where has this year gone?! I’m excited to see that there are three candidates for the UMCB President position this year, which was quite unexpected to most of you. I’d like to wish the best of luck to all three of them as I’m sure it will be an interesting campaigning period and that it will be a very tight race. And to the rest of you – remember to vote! Recently I’ve been…

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. Coronavirus outbreak – zero tolerance to harassment Regrettably, there have been reports nationally of some individuals being racially harassed or avoided. 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! January may have felt as long as an entire year, but February seems to have zoomed past as though it were only a week. February also happens to be our LGBT+ History Month (check out the LGBT+/LHDT+ Society’s Facebook page for some very interesting examples of LGBT+ role models!), and the time an all-student committee (the first of its kind!) has come together to plan and execute Women’s History Month in March! So let’s talk about these ‘History Months’ – or…

We’re almost at the end of our year now and it’s time to look back at our manifestos and achievements from the year to update you all! Within my manifesto I mentioned various things from kitchen facilities and water fountains to more Panopto and job opportunities and I’m happy to say there has been fantastic progress on all of these! 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…

Candidate Fair – SABBATICAL ELECTION

0
By on Students' Union, Union News

Campaign season kicked off on Tuesday with the candidate fair!  Each candidate was set up at a station ready to pass on the message of their manifestos and why they feel they would be a good fit for the roles.  This is a great way to really kick start campaigning and allows the student body to meet the candidates, and discuss with each of them what they plan on doing if elected. With so many different ideas and approaches being made, the room buzzed with energy.  Many of the students I managed to speak to were very excited about meeting…
