Since we heard that the swimming pool/ student facilities inside Student Central were going to be closed, after its sale to Birkbeck, we’ve been doing everything we can to make sure this vital space doesn’t go.  We started with an open letter to Birkbeck, signed by over 1300 people, with students all over London, along with people from the local community who use the pool, signing to tell Birkbeck their dissent with this decision.

During Women’s History Month celebrations, I hosted an inspiring conversation with a UCL Alumna Lena Fricker. In the recorded talk, we speak on life after UCL, career building, imposter syndrome and tackling male-dominated sectors.
