Help Fix the Student Loan System - Have Your Say

On March 11th, our student representatives joined students' unions from across the country in Westminster for the 'NUS National Lobby Day: Don’t Freeze Our Futures'.

They met with MPs to talk about the real financial pressures students are dealing with right now, and why the current student loan system is not working well enough. The campaigning has led to the new Select Committee inquiry into student loans - which means students now have a real chance to help influence what happens next.

Have your say, and have it now!

 

A Temporary Goodbye - Spring Closures

Everyone deserves break, and that means all of us in the Union of Brunel Students, too! Don't worry though, we'll be back soon enough after the break. For details on our timings, please read our article on the matter.

The BIG Quiz will return on the 23rd April, 8pm-10pm. Nothing feels better than coming back after a well-needed break, so we look forward to seeing you all there, ready and raring to get back into it!

Also making a return in our first week of the new term - Bolly Beats. On Friday 24th April, 10pm-3am, enjoy the non-stop Desi music as the perfect introduction back into weekend night-life.

Societies Round-up
 

Societies Elections are here after the break!

Socities elections are HERE when we return from spring break - time to get involved! If you want to be part of the society committee then make sure to nominate yourself between the 13th and 17th April. Voting will open on the 20th April, and will be available until the 24th April. Finally, get excited for the results on the 27th April.
 
Sports Round-up
 

Brunel climb the ranks...

American Football
American Football capped off an incredible season by securing back-to-back unbeaten campaigns and consecutive promotions. They will now compete in the National Premier Division for the first time. An outstanding achievement for both players and coaching staff. They sealed their latest success with a commanding 20–6 victory over league rivals SGS, controlling the game throughout and never coming under serious pressure.

 

Rugby Union
The Men’s 1s delivered a statement performance ahead of their BUCS Super Rugby playoff, defeating fierce rivals Newcastle 61–0 in Loughborough. While an impressive result in its own right, the focus now shifts to the decisive playoff fixture.

They will travel to Newcastle on 1st April, where the winner will earn automatic promotion to BUCS Super Rugby. This marks the fourth consecutive year these two sides have met with promotion on the line, but this year carries extra significance, as the winner goes straight up rather than facing a further playoff against the bottom Super Rugby side.

The Women’s 1s have also finished their season strongly, securing impressive cup victories over powerhouse sides Loughborough and Cardiff Met. Their performances have earned them a place in the cup semi-final, where they will face Hartpury, the only team they have yet to overcome this season.
