Wednesday 15 February, 13.00-16.00 - FULL!
University of Edinburgh [but open to volunteers from all universities]
Our second Applying2012 event for S5s will take place at the University of Edinburgh this year and, like the others, is one of our highlights of the year.
As this is different to other LEAPS activities, this event is open to those who have the experience of participation in several workshops - three or more (this year or previously). We are looking for our volunteer team to cover a range of universities and subjects too. As ever, just email alice.c.smith@ed.ac.uk to sign up.
In previous years we have had around 250+ pupils attend the event and they come from schools from all over the region - Edinburgh, Lothians and the Forth Valley area.
Pupils who come along will attend short presentations by speakers, a workshop and the opportunity to speak to university reps at a mini-HE convention.
Your role as a volunteer could involve one or more of the following activities:
- the setting up of the venue
- the registration of arriving students
- welcoming students as they arrive
- mingle and chat informally with pupils as they arrive and during break- take part in a workshop focusing on ‘strategies for selecting the right course and making an effective application’
- help gather evaluation forms at the end of day
- possibly manning a catering stand!
You also get the honour of wearing a LEAPS volunteer T-Shirt!
The meet up point is the main foyer of Appleton Tower, where the team will meet you for a quick briefing session before the event kicks off. If you look closely, some of the pics on the blog to your right are from last year’s event…take a look!
As always please get in touch if you have any questions.
