Welcome Week Residence Life Recap
After a fantastic Welcome Week meeting you all at our events, we’re looking back at some of our highlights!
All Halls BBQ
We kicked off our freshers' fun with the All Halls BBQ, inviting you all to come for free food, drinks and good vibes. We were even lucky enough to get some sunshine!
ResLife Talks
We were joined by some very special guests for a series of talks to help you make the most of your time at University. Jan and Rego from our Careers Centre, activist Melz Owusu and content creator Lydia Violeta all gave amazing talks to inspire and motivate you.
Halls Headphone Disco
At the Headphone Disco, the power was in your hands! With three channels of music to choose from, you could DJ your perfect club night, join the same channels as your friends, or all listen to different ones if you fancied a bit of chaos.
Freshers Fair
Our team set up at the Freshers Fair outside of LUU to get the chance to meet as many of you as possible, play some tense games of Jenga and, of course, win some freebies!
Sports Day
On Woodhouse Moor we we organised games of volleyball, badminton, football and more to help you get active and play some sport while meeting other members of your halls community. Once the action had kicked off, the ice cream man was on hand to provide some well-deserved treats.
Harewood Trips
We took two trips to Harewood House over the past week, giving you guys a chance to explore one of the local attractions. After exploring the historic house, we even got to meet some penguins!
Craft & Create
With craft supplies in hand, we witnessed your artistic genius as you decorated plant pots and designed your own tote bags. Be sure to look out for more of our craft events throughout the year!
LGBTQ Mixer
The LGBTQ mixer was a space for students to meet other members of their community before embarking on a thrilling LGBTQ history-themed city chase across Leeds. Six teams took part, leading to a very close result for the winning team!
Sun Sets
At the end of the week, we took a breather and hosted Sun Sets, a live acoustic gig in the evening to see off the week on a chill note. With drinks flowing and music from amazing local performers, we had a blast!
