THE Students’ Guild has announced major changes to how the Fresher’s Fair and other fresher’s events will operate at the start of the 2023/24 academic year.

In an email sent by the Guild Activities Team on the 9th June, the Guild announced that Fresher’s Fair will be renamed to “Welcome Week” to “ensure that the language we use is relevant and inclusive to all students and they feel they can be involved no matter what year of study or when they arrive.”

A spokesperson for the University commented that they are “happy to support the Guild by undertaking the refurbishments to Devonshire House over the summer.” They further added that these modifications to Devonshire House will help to “ensure the space is improved and modernised to meet the needs of our students and the Guild.”
