Updates and Achievements from Past Month Support and Guidance Worked on making initial plans for the set up of an RGU Events Society to provide event guidance and support to societies and students. I worked to write the societies application form and event society constitution and was able to get the society established at RGU. Worked with fellow executive committee members on planning key events. In August, I met with fellow exec members to make plans for Freshers week, and had brainstorming sessions for the event. We also had our first strategic planning meeting with the RGU:Union trustees, where we outlined plans for the future of the union.
