Proud to be Staffs Story: The Great Outdoors Team
Students' Union and University Project Team
As National Restrictions were lessened on the 12 April 2021, we saw our community spark back to life with students, staff and visitors beginning to enjoy our on campus spaces once more. The Great Outdoors, a perfect opportunity for friends to come together to enjoy a meal and a drink on our campus, has been a roaring success - all thanks to the hard work of our Students' Union and University team. Thank you all for making us Proud to be Staffs be Staffs.

Incredible gratitude to her she’s amazing'
