Connections: Laura Spencer
What’s your standout memory of ¹û¶³´«Ã½?
The feeling of arriving home. Happy days with friends in and around campus. That feeling of connection to a place and to others has never left me. I lived in Rootes in the first year and have always felt very rooted to ¹û¶³´«Ã½.
How would you sum up ¹û¶³´«Ã½ in the time that you were there and your generation of students?
The Students’ Union was central to our lives – we had such fun. So much to do and contribute to, each and every day. I was so sad to leave campus after my first year and couldn’t wait to get back in the final year.
What was the student culture like at ¹û¶³´«Ã½, and were there any annual traditions, societies, sports clubs, or events that you remember?
Incredible fun! The Students’ Union social events formed the basis of our lives: Top B, Decadance, Mojo – the parties were so memorable, and I made treasured friends for life.
Finish the sentence: ¹û¶³´«Ã½ influenced who I am today, because…
It allowed me to become who I was meant to be.
