Happy new year one and all, we hope you’re all refreshed from your break.

The EUSAS team have been planning a number of social events over the christmas, as well as an exciting line up of lectures for the Spring Semester.

We’ll start in the Teviot Library Bar at around 8pm, and we’ve arranged free entry to Liquid Rooms for all EUSAS members until 1am.

We hope you can join us, it will be a good chance to catch up with you all!
