Shadowing Scheme

I need some volunteers to be shadowed for 3 days in Jan/ Feb 2010. Please email me at ecw44 if you're interested & give me your dates preference (see below- there's a choice of 3 weeks). Please let me know too if you wouldn't mind sharing a room with another Clare student & letting a shadow use your room. If we can get Clare students to do this we could have loads and loads more shadowers than ever before! Because normally we limited by only having 3 rooms for shadowers to stay in. So please let me know if you wouldn't mind doing this & also if you have a spare bed in your room, so we could double the number of shadowers staying there! The dates of the scheme are: afternoon of Thursday 28 - morning of Saturday 30 January 2010 or... Thursday 4 - Saturday 6 February 2010 or... Thursday 11 - Saturday 13 February 2010 Check out the access bit of this website for more info and join the CUSU facebook event to keep updated with info on the scheme.

Open Meeting Tomorrow

So far freshers' week seems to have gone amazingly well, with, I hope, enough events to cater for all tastes. I'd love to know what everyone thinks of it - both first years and others alike - so do get in touch with your feedback.

With the beginning of term comes the first Open Meeting, which promises to be both hugely interesting and crucially important, so PLEASE DO COME ALONG! Not only will Tom Chigbo, Natalie Szarek and Sam Wakeford be there (President, Women's Officer and Academic Officer of CUSU respectively) to introduce the Cambridge University Students' Union, but we will also be explaining how open meetings work - for example how and why to write motions - and introducing freshers to important and controversial issues we feel they should know about - for example KFC. On top of that, we have the election of a new Vice President to discuss - as of tomorrow evening, nominations for Vice President will be open. The schedule for the election will be explained tomorrow.

The agenda summarising the above is attached - please read and, if possible, take to tomorrow's meeting.

7pm, Clare Cellars.

New year, new website

Hello to everyone, old and new, and welcome to the new and improved UCS website. To those who haven't yet met me, I'm Shep, your UCS President.

The website should prove a really vital tool, not just for the Exec, but for the UCS as a whole. Soon all events, college and university-wide, will have to be advertised via it - to publicise your event, instead of sending an email to Pete (Secretary), create an event on the calendar (login with Raven) and an email will be sent out. So the calendar - and the website as a whole - should hopefully come to be an important part of college life!

I, and the rest of the Exec, are really looking forward to getting stuck in with the new academic year and all the challenges it poses. The Freshers' Week we have planned should (hopefully!!) be a great introduction to all the new freshers, as well as a great week for all those returning from summer. I for one can't wait to see you all soon.
