All my SOAS friends are eighteen. I love them dearly but sometimes I want to chat to people who remember the first Motorola Razr about things like smear tests. And 1996.
Vote for me for weekly socials - coffee mornings, end of the week pub nights and anything else you might fancy.
Serious face bit - I'm also aware that SOAS hasn't got great mature student retention rates and it'd be really great to work in tandem with Student Services to set things up like buddying/mentoring schemes and targeted support for people returning to study after a gap.
But mainly the 1996 thing.
