Find Out More About IMPress: Tues 29th Sept or Thurs 1st Oct

swillmott / / Events, Paid Work, Volunteering

All students are encouraged to attend one of two meetings that will launch IMPress activities for the new academic year.

First years: find out more about IMPress and how it can help you get involved in relevant extracurricular work or training right away!

Returning students: hear about the wide range of opportunities that are available this year.

We are also keen to hear from all students what types of support they would like IMPress to provide, and in what areas. There will be an opportunity to become involved with running and steering the group, including the possibility for some paid work.

Both sessions will be held in the Coach Education Suite and all students are welcome to attend either:

Tuesday 29th September at 5pm

Thursday 1st October at 4pm

The sessions will probably last about 30 minutes. If you have any questions please email us at impresslincoln@gmail.com Thanks!

Would You Like To Help Plan Our National Sports Roadshow?

swillmott / / Events, Positions, Volunteering

In February 2016 we will be hosting another National Sports Roadshow, in collaboration with Careers in Sport. Last year’s event was a great success but we are keen to make the 2016 version even bigger and better. As part of that we want to make sure that the programme matches exactly what you – our students, from all of our programmes – would most appreciate. We would therefore like to establish a Student Steering Group to participate in the planning of presentations, activities and invitations to schools and sporting and health organisations.

The Steering Group’s work will mainly be undertaken in October, and it should not be too time consuming. The benefits of membership will be the experience of involvement in the organisation of a national event, the chance to tailor the day to the career interests of you and your fellow students, and the opportunity to network with relevant people and organisations.

It would be great to have representation from all of our programmes. If you would like to get involved, or would like to know more about the Steering Group or the Roadshow, please contact Sandy Willmott.
