Free goodies!

On Friday, Claire, Leonie and I went on a massive trek around the university to find everything we could to put in the information packs and the goody bags we're giving to the students at the end of the day. We went to the marketing department, the careers department and the Student Union offices and hit the jackpot! We were able to get everything we needed and more:

• Free Bath Spa Uni and Grad South West pens
• Free Grad South West pads
• Brown paper bags that have Bath Spa Uni's logo on them with the words 'Let's change your future', perfect to go with the theme of the event
• Black plastic bags that say 'in the bag'
• New 2012 university prospectuses
• Open Day bookmarks
• Information about the university
• Course outline booklets

...and more! The best part was we then went to the SU offices and asked if they had anything they could give us. He came back with his arms full of Bath Spa Uni t-shirts, enough for our entire class, that we said we could have for free! So now we don't have to worry about getting t-shirts made, since we have ones that we can all wear on the day and keep afterwards as a souvenir.

The only disappointing thing about the day was that we weren't able to track down the free Bath Spa Uni USB sticks that they were handing out during the Fresher's Fair - none of the departments had any idea where that could have originated from. We have one more lead, the environmental department's email, but we thought if we can't get them we can always ask the students to bring their own USB sticks on the day. It would be a bit frustrating, since they would be perfect to be able to give them something tangible to take home with them of everything they do on the day that would remind them of the university...but I guess you can't win them all.
