Sabb Blab Welcome to Term 3! As many of you will have exams and deadlines this term, we’re wishing you the very best of luck. We’re also working really hard to make sure none of you get too stressed, which is why Term 3 will be Feel Good term here at the SU. We’re organising lots of fun events, giving out free goodies and running some useful workshops – we’ll be updating the Feel Good section of the website as we’re announcing things, so keep an eye on it!
Education Officer education@ warwicksu.com
Study space is a big issue for SO many people this time of year - but, good news: you don’t have to cram onto the Floor 3 extension at 7am to get somewhere to study as there are TONS of options. I’ve outlined some of them on my SU blog! My exam tip: change your pen between each question on your exam paper. Different types of pen require a different grip and this helps a little to prevent your hand cramping! Erin Davies
news in brief St. George’s Day in Xananas
On Wednesday 23rd April (Week 1), we’ll be celebrating St George’s Day with a range of delicious specials in our restaurant here at the SU. Get your best dragon-slaying gear on (optional…) and come along to Xananas to tuck in to a hearty range of traditional English favourites throughout the day!
Marking boycott – SU statement & FAQs
Many of you may have heard that the UCU plans to begin a Marking Boycott this term as part of the ongoing industrial action in the dispute over pay in Higher Education. We understand that students are concerned about the impact of this, so we’ve written a series of FAQs to hopefully answer some of your questions on the issue – head over to the scrolling news section of www. warwicksu.com to read this!

Last year’s Societies Awards doubled the capacity of the venue and received rave reviews. Never ones to rest on our laurels, this year’s ceremony on 26th June promises to be even better! For one night only, Butterworth Hall will be transformed into a fantastic destination of light and sound, enabling your society’s exec and members to get together to celebrate your achievements over the past year - and hopefully also to pick up an award or two during the night! The programme consists of theatrical & musical performances from Warwick student societies, followed by a sumptuous 3-course meal with FREE wine on the table and the apprehension of waiting to see who the award winners are!
Tickets are priced at £25 for current students / £30 for alumni and go on sale to exec members from midday Monday 28th April, with general sales following from midday Wednesday 30th April.
