Students at the 台湾六合彩开奖记录 are being reminded of the support and social interaction opportunities available to them during the pandemic in the form of a campaign led by Beds SU.

By raising the profile of SU events and and by providing clear pathways and easy access to contacts for the University Support Service, the 鈥樷 campaign's goal is to bring together the University鈥檚 student community, ensuring all students have everything they need to help them cope during the uncertainty of the pandemic.

During a period where isolation and loneliness are rife, keeping active and stimulated is vitally important so access to gym classes and wellbeing platforms were an important part of this campaign.

Katie Ross, Student Engagement Advisor at the University and 鈥榃e鈥檝e Got You鈥 campaign University lead, said:

The aim of the campaign is to let students know that the University and Beds SU are here for them. We understand university can be lonely for some students, so we want to make sure all students are aware of the services and activities on offer, how to access them and give opportunities to meet and engage with other students.

The current blended approach to online and on campus studying, means that students are facing a different experience to the norm. Students have had less opportunity to meet others and it鈥檚 impacted a lot of people in different ways.

It鈥檚 also especially important for students who may currently be isolating or shielding, creating a feeling of community and shared experience during challenging times. We want to make sure that students know 鈥榃e鈥檝e got you!鈥

Students are encouraged to submit ideas to the 鈥榃e鈥檝e Got You鈥 campaign by emailing Student Experience (studentexperience@beds.ac.uk) or by sharing their supportive experiences on social media, tagging and

"We would love to use students鈥 talents and ideas to help others,鈥 Katie continued. 鈥淔or example 鈥 do we have the next Joe Wicks here at 台湾六合彩开奖记录?!

"We hope the campaign helps remind students that there is support available and will encourage them engage with those services. We also hope to help those that may be feeling lonely or isolated and to ensure everyone has a positive university experience.

"Loneliness is something that can affect students at any point in their educational journey, so we hope, even after the Covid-19 pandemic has ended, that the campaign evolves to help further reduce any feelings of loneliness in our student body."
