Representing the University

UCAS Day Coordinator		1st, 2nd, 4th year
	I was the co-ordinator of my department's Open Days for applicants. This involved looking after applicants - trying to give them an insight into the University by giving campus tours, answering questions and getting them ready for interviews. It also involved recruiting enough volunteers to help with this every week.

Prospectus		3rd year
	I was included in the Prospectus for the Computer Science department at my University.

Widening Participation: Aiming Higher		2nd, 4th year
	I was involved in Widening Participation - a scheme for local secondary school students who might not have considered aiming for Higher Education to see what HE is all about, through activities and campus visits. This included preparing and delivering the Aiming Higher activity days, talking to students and parents at school Parents' Evenings and giving talks and tours around campus.

Welcoming visitors		All years
	I was responsible for greeting and introducing guests to the University on a number of occasions. Examples include graduate recruiters coming to give presentations for students, local councillors coming to the Prize Giving Evenings and delegates from nearby universities.

Sixth Form talks		2nd, 4th year
	I gave a number of talks at local 6th Forms - talking about Higher Education, and life at University. Some were questions-and-answers sessions, and some were prepared presentations on topics such as health, housing, money and courses.

Open Days		All years
	I helped at Open Days by giving campus tours for prospective students and their parents.
