SERC Freshers Fair Draws In Large Number Of Students

SU Freshers’ Fairs Big Draw for Students

Students and staff got to engage with a wide range of organisations, charities, and student support services at this years’ Students’ Union Freshers’ Fairs which were held across Bangor, Downpatrick, Lisburn and Newtownards Campuses.

SERC Level 3 Construction & the Built Environment Students Chara Rice (Newcastle) and Caitlin McAlister (Newry) stop to chat with Sarah Devlin, SE Trust Carer Support Service at SERC’s Freshers’ Fair in Downpatrick Campus.

Over 4000 people attended the Fairs and were able to sign up for clubs, consider a range of volunteering opportunities and enjoy some freebies and tasty bites from local organisations including Mash Direct and The Pizza Co.

Many students took the opportunity to pick up a free SERC branded hoodie. There is still a limited supply available so if you missed the fairs, come along to one of the drop-in days at the Recharge Rooms on campus or message the SU team.

Students’ Union team, Danielle Carey and Ross Currie, show off the SERC branded hoodies freebie for visitors to the Freshers’ Fairs in SERC’s Downpatrick Campus.

SERC Student Engagement Manager Ross Currie added: “We were delighted with the support of so many community organisations and are working on our next events so if any organisations in the local community would like to be considered for a spot,  please email:
