Wave to the Surf Champs!

It's great when students succeed at things, especially when it's for something they love. SUBU's Surf Club, captained by Stephanie Seymour competed in the BUCS Surf Championships on the weekend of 16th October.

Gordon Fontain championed the men's title, with Jaydene Kerton coming 2nd in the women's. The men's team made it to the podium for the first time ever, coming 3rd in the overall points!

Congrats to Gordon, Jaydene and the whole team -

Personally I think successes like this should be celebrated and make Bournemouth University proud as a whole. That's why this year I am concentrating on celebrating student success. Look out in 'Your Word' for success stories and on SUBU News. We have already had stories, such as -

Yeovil Heroes - An awards ceremony for the heroes of our partnership college, the University Centre Yeovil to celebrate a year of acheievment for the BA English and History students.

RAG Conference was held in Bournemouth this year by our hugely enthusiastic RAGGIES! It was mega well organised and raggies from all over the country came down to learn and network!

The Leadership Programme Gold award was achieved by two students in the first year of running! Congrats to Jarunda Richardson and George Ghiuta

SUBU also has a very special celebration in regards to our longest serving member of staff, Irene Coogan! Irene celebrated 20 years on 11th September 2009!

We want more successes! If you have a success of any kind, in or outside of Uni then please let me know as I want to hear about it!

Stay Classy Bournemouth
