President's Letters

• Welcoming Address
  • May I give a special welcome to first year undergraduates and I hope that most of you will join the society. As well as having a good time, our aim is to help to advance your studies and to support your tutors.
    
    Our new website is run by Elana Maloni. I think you will agree that she is doing a marvellous job---Many thanks Elana.
    
    We have many things planned for the present academic year and so, as well as this website, please keep an eagle eye on our notice board (2nd.floor U.C.L.) This is regularly updated by our printer expert - DAVE McCANN. Those of you who have given me an e-mail address will also be notified in advance. Elana has already mentioned that any constructive suggestions or criticisms are welcome at any time.
    
    Last year, we had a marvellous series of outstanding guest lecturers including Prof. Stephen Self (O.U.) and Prof. James Jackson (Cambridge). This year we are looking forward to welcoming Prof. Bill McGuire (U.C.L.) and Prof. Andrew Putnis (Muenster Uni. Germany) among others.
    
    Finally, I must tell you that B.S.G.S. is an absolute team effort and I would like to thank all my commitee members, students and staff for their support---especially Shira Adler (Treasurer). With all your help, we will continue to make this a vibrant society and a credit to BIRKBECK.
