Tomorrow (Tuesday 6 October), one of our most celebrated alumni Jason Arday is coming to speak to and inspire you. At a time like this, it's definitely worth checking out - we know a lot of you will be feeling drained and tired right now.

Jason was a member of the Officer Team here at SMSU in 2008, and was the very person to start our historical Varsity event against Brunel! Having studied PE & Education Studies (BA) he then went on to gain an MA in Pedagogy, Professional Practice in Education (MA) and a PhD in Sociology of Education. Jason has even run 30 marathons in 35 days and raised £4.5 million for over 80 national charities including local charity shooting star chase!

He'll be speaking about what it means to be a simmie tomorrow on Tuesday 6 October at 1pm. You can register to watch the whole thing on Zoom here.

This event is one of the first ever St Mary's values talks - keep your eye out for more of them in future!

This is also an SMSU Freshers 2020 event - you can find more information on Freshers' here.
