Hi, I'm Natalie, your Activities and Development Officer at the Guild of Students! I'm here to support and oversee the wide range of student groups and societies we have, and to make sure that you get involved & get the most out of your time in Birmingham. Joining societies not only helps you gain important skills, but also allows you to meet people who have similar interests to you. Get in touch with me if you have any questions, want to have a chat, or even want to set up your own society!
