This week is “AberSU Celebrates week” - THE perfect opportunity to celebrate all things related to Aber students and we will be celebrating one promise at a time.
We want to offer the chance to try something new, enjoy hobbies, socialize and make lasting and meaningful friendships and be part of something bigger.
Today we take a look back at some of the ways we have “provided opportunities for you to find your Aber community” this last academic year:
- Over the 2024-2025 academic year 60% of Aberystwyth students have engaged with Undeb Aber’s services, activities and/or groups.
- 47% of Aber students are members of Team Aber; our community of 45 sports clubs, 100 societies and 5 volunteering projects.
- Our 3 days of Freshers fair welcomed 173 stalls to the Arts Centre during Welcome week (134 club and society stalls & 39 businesses/charities).
- Our Helo Aber programme of welcome events included Meet and Greet sessions as an opportunity for new students to meet like-minded students: 325 students attended one of our 10 meet and greet sessions during the September Freshers period.
- Our groups ran 23 Give it a go taster sessions during the September Freshers period and 13 Give it a go sessions during the Refreshers period at the end of January. These were all listed on the Events section on the AberSU website.
- 193 students made the most of the trips we’ve organised during this academic year; from Pumpkin picking to a trip to Ikea and from the Butterfly house to Cardiff Winter Wonderland.
- This year Aberystwyth hosted the Eisteddfod Ryng golegol (a inter collegial Eisteddfod competition) where over 700 students from Welsh universities compete for the title of “Eisteddfod winners” for the year…and we were thrilled to win the title for the second year running.
- Sports and socs awards nomination: 490 nominations received for the Sports and Society awards this year: celebrating the diverse communities of student groups here at Aberystwyth.
- This year’s Aber7s weekend welcomed 62 rugby teams (over 750 players) to Blaendolau this weekend. With over 500 spectators also coming to show their support.
