Laura......

Hi, I'm Laura Armstrong, I sit on the executive commitee of Nottingham Trent Students Union. I'm in charge of all societies, junction (student volunteering), RAG (fundraising) and all student training and development. The first term was really busy as we welcomed 5,000 freshers and hosted the biggest Welcome Week in the country.

I've been on the Exec for two years now and its surprizing how much I've learnt from from my everyday working life. Improving my business skills has become a large part of my job. One of the best skills I have developed is how to network and utilise this contacts to achieve great results. Thirsty Thursday is an event run by NTU with the University of Nottingham which provides a networking forum for students to develop this skill and makes some great contacts in the mean time!

You should really make the most of this opportunity as it is a valuable collaboration between the two universities which pools high profile and inspiring professionals.

Hope to see you on 21st at Oceania,

Love

Laura x
