Here’s what FXU President Student Experience, Amanda Chetwynd-Cowieson, has been working on during the Summer Term…
Hey pals! I hope you’re all well and finding time to enjoy the delightful (if slightly sporadic) Cornish sunshine. To all of you who recently took final exams, I hope your results go the way you wish and to all with final exhibitions, I can’t wait to see all the fantastic work you’ve created!
Club & Society Shout Outs
It’s been a truly amazing and hectic few months for clubs and societies – with end of year balls and dinners to trips abroad and more guest speakers than ever, it’s fair to say the gang just don’t stop. We recently had our Annual FXU Awards ceremony and below are the winners from the Club and Society sections. HUGE thank you to all who nominated and attended the awards, and especially to Sarah Hunter and Roz Evans who came to help me host.

Events all over the place
From Grad Ball to Garden Party, FXU Slip and Slide to the FXU Awards it’s a mad few weeks for FXU! To make sure you’re keeping up to date with what we’ve got going on and how you can get involved follow our social media (FaceyB, Insta-G and Twitter etc)! The fun doesn’t stop when the UnderGraduate term does though and I’m now looking into how we can put on events throughout the summer for PostGraduates and any students who are still around. Olympic viewing sessions in the Stannary anyone?
The EU Referendum
June 6th is the last day to register to vote in the upcoming EU Referendum!! It’s so unbelievably important that you have your say in this decision, so whether you’re voting Bremain or Brexit just make sure you vote! If you’re not sure where you’ll be on the day of the vote (June 23rd) then we recommend signing up for either a postal vote or a vote by Proxy. Pop into the FXU office on either campus and we can show you how – it genuinely takes about a minute!
We have our second EU Question and Answer panel on Friday, book your free tickets here!
#FXUExplores
I’m currently on our Instagram and starting to build up suggestions of places for everyone to explore – tag FXU_Insta in your photos of where you and your friends visit in Cornwall then I’ll give a cheeky shoutout!
I’ll be back with another update soon.
