Did you know that applications to become one of Bowland College’s Fresher Reps are now open? Last year I was one of the many people who helped welcome new students to Lancaster University through the Fresher Rep programme and here are the reasons why I think it’s a great thing to do:

1- You’ll make some great new friends.

Being a fresher rep is a really fun experience because you get to meet loads of new people. This friendship is something that continues way past Fresher’s Week, you can make new friends for life.

2- You can mirror the great work that your Fresher Rep did.

It is likely that you had a really great fresher rep who had a big impact on your first impression of university. Perhaps they went above and beyond to make sure you felt comfortable during those first stages of making new friends? Being a Fresher Rep is your opportunity to continue this tradition.

3- It looks great on your CV and you will get Lancaster award points.

The Fresher Rep Programme is a great example of leadership and responsibility, which will look great on your CV. Furthermore, The Lancaster Award is a really great opportunity for students who want to get their CV to stand out. If you complete the Fresher Rep programme, you will eligible for points towards The Lancaster Award.

4- You can experience the fun of Fresher’s week again.

Unlike most second and third year students, as a fresher rep you get to attend all the events. While this comes with responsibility, you get to enjoy a second Fresher’s week.

5- You get a better idea for what it is that the JCR Exec do.

As a Fresher Rep you will be working alongside the JCR Exec throughout the week. This engagement with the exec may inspire you to apply to join the exec and help run the next Fresher’s Week.
