Students set to gather for annual conference

Swansea College students are getting ready to hold their second annual conference later this week.

The event, held at Sketty Hall, will allow students to give their feedback on all aspects of college life from maintaining a healthy lifestyle on campus to designing a new college. For the latter discussion, Sara Gardner from architects BDP will join the groups to talk about the much-anticipated new city centre site.

There will be cash up for grabs too, with opportunities to bid for up to £1500 from the Student Curriculum Fund. This money has been set aside to pay for innovative projects that will improve the college experience.

“Student feedback drives everything we do throughout the year but it’s always good to get everyone together for a ‘day out’ where we can discuss the progress already made and what’s still left to achieve,” says Director of Learner Services Julie Mason. “The Curriculum Fund has been set up specifically to help students put their great ideas into practice.”
