This session is ‘Take Flight!’ – what are the flying creatures that call the garden home, and how can we support them?
Join your ResLife Assistants Himadri and Neemisha for one final Henna Tattoo event this term in DG01-02 in Templeman Library.

In your final year? Join this online session from our Careers and Employability Service to help consider how ‘work ready’ you are and to create an action plan you can use as you prepare to move on from university.
On Thursday if you live in on-campus accommodation there’s two chances to watch a film in Eliot College. You can watch a Bollywood film or Pitch Perfect (or even both!)
Friday 30 May: Gardening and careers events
Get outside and volunteer at the Kent Community Oasis Garden. They have open volunteering sessions on Wednesdays and Fridays, 10:00-14:00. You can drop in for as long as you want and there is no previous experience necessary. Enjoy being out in nature and trying something new.
There’s lots of online careers events on Friday with a session on how to clarify your career goals with the help of a mentor, plus refreshing your CV and cover letter and making applications to grad schemes, other job roles and PG study.
