Many years ago, in a union far, far away...enough for a dramatic beginning?
In case you are wondering who I am, let me introduce myself, I am Sid, the President of the City & Guilds College Union, the student's union for the Engineering students. I take this opportunity provided by Felix, to inform and gauge the views of students in the Engineering as well as other faculties.
First thing this month, the City & Guilds will be holding a faculty-wide consultation on the 23rd of January with all its Year and Departmental Representatives numbering more than a hundred, covering nine departments including the RSM. This is a continuation of our attempts to have a frank and regular dialogue with our reps. If you have an issue you wish to raise, speak to your year or departmental reps. and ask them to raise it with us on the 23rd of January or any other time they can.
City & Guilds have also announced their 11th annual 5-a-side Football tournament, teams from all departments and faculties are welcome to participate. If you wish to play, please register your team by emailing vpa@cgcu.net.
I know, Sameena (above), always writes about the issues facing the union, I would like you all to consider the work put in by all your representatives at all levels, including the Sabbatical officers and if you are unhappy with the state of your union or education, feel free to raise them. You are paying the Sabbs. to work for you, make sure you are getting your money's worth. If you have an interest in the running of the union or would like to know what is going on with Union re-development or website, there are other places (other then this page), come to Union Council, next one is scheduled for the 26th of January, starting 7pm in the Union Dining Hall.
In the meantime, if you are an Engineer and would like to to raise any issues, please contact your departmental representative or email me at president@cgcu.net.
