Events for Finalists

Over the next few weeks we are running dozens of events for finalists and graduands. These include a CVs & Applications Briefing, a session on Local Job Hunting and one on Job Search for International Students. A full list can be found on our events listing and although they're aimed at finalists, all students are welcome.

Volunteers Week

It's Volunteers Week 1-7 June celebrating the contribution that millions of volunteers make across the UK. The Week plays a huge part in raising the profile of volunteers who regularly contribute to society, while inspiring others to get involved too.

If you are interested in volunteering you can find information on finding opportunities and how to make the most of volunteering on our website. It's also worth calling in to Project V, Sussex's community volunteering scheme as they have lots of summer projects available. It's based in the USSU Activities Centre round the corner from the Careers and Employability Centre in Falmer House.

Keep an eye on the blog for more on volunteering later in the week.
