SPONSORING GOLDSMITHS SU T-SHIRTS FRESHERS CREW T-SHIRT SPONSORSHIP

The Freshers Crew are a team of volunteers coordinated by the Union throughout the Freshers period to help newly arrived students as they adjust to their lives in South East London. The Freshers Crew act as one of the first points of contact the Students’ Union has with first years, as they will be on hand during the move in weekend assisting in getting the Freshers luggage to their rooms whilst welcoming them to the university. The Freshers Crew will also be team leaders in many of the initial social nights the Students’ Union is organising, helping new students to settle in and socialise through icebreaking tasks and events. Sponsoring the T-shirts means being part of one of the most visible groups during Freshers and being emblazoned upon the apparel of our 50+ Volunteer team as they greet students and parents during their initial weekend at university.

Your Logo on the 50+ Freshers Crew T’s - £500

EVENT STAFF T-SHIRTS Goldsmiths Students’ Union employs 20+ members of permanent staff who will work as a team at every major Goldsmiths SU event and many Goldsmiths College events as well. The staff provide a huge amount of support and assistance towards students throughout Freshers week and are highly visible both during the day and throughout the evening for the entire period. This year the staff will be identifiable by their Goldsmiths Students’ Union T-shirts which will help identify them as an organisation official to students and college staff alike.

Sponsoring these T-shirts provides you with the key opportunity of showing your strong partnership with the Students Union. These T-shirts will also be used at all major events throughout the year!

Much like the Leopard, the magazine is run by and for students and has proven popular throughout the campus.
