Peer Guides
On behalf of all the Peer Guides in the School of Arts, Culture and Language, I would like to welcome you to Bangor.
The Peer Guide scheme is here to help you during your time at Bangor, particularly during the first few weeks of your degree course. Welcome Week, your first week in Bangor, is designed to help you settle in before lectures go. During Welcome Week there will be lots of activities run by the School and by the teams in your subject areas. These activities will allow you to meet other new students and Peer Guides. There are also events run by the Students’ Union, such as Serendipity, where you can find out about all the societies and sports clubs on offer at Bangor. Many of these societies and clubs have their events –so, as you can see, there will be lots of exciting things to do!
The School’s Peer Guides will be available throughout Welcome Week to lend a hand and to help you feel at home, and you have been allocated a personal Peer Guide, who will be in touch soon.
In the meantime, if you wish to contact your Peer Guide, please contact our Peer Guide coordinator who will put you in touch. Alys Conran - a.conran@bangor.ac.uk
We look forward to meeting you in September.
Enjoy your summer, and we will see you soon.
