Missed any Information? Log on and go to:

That concludes the formal presentation. Next up are the School / Discipline talks and afterwards the EIS festival will be on in the MUGA area where we will have a free BBQ, DJ, and EIS Clubs and Societies. You will now be divided into school / discipline groups for more specific information on your degrees. As I call each out each group could you please stand and head out of the hall and meet on the grassed area just outside. One of our O-Hosts will be holding up a coloured sign with your school name on it. This coloured sign will match the coloured wrist band you were given as you entered the hall. You will then be escorted to your talks.
