Back to Work, Back to Networking

After a great week off, which went way too quickly might I add, it's time to get back into the swing of things.

As I got back into the office and opened my email inbox, I found that I had been signed up to a number of networking events. The majority of them involve attending Universities, I assume it's at this time of year that the careers talks and events are put on. I can't actually remember as my education seems so long ago (She says at the ripe old age of 24)

Last week I attended the University of Suffolk Law Programme Launch and this week I will be attending the University of Essex Law Fair.

The University of Suffolk (formerly University Campus Suffolk) has just started offering the LLB Law degree from this year. We were invited as lawyers from the local community to help mark and celebrate the occasion. There was food (always a bonus!) and a couple of speeches from local judges, and also those working at the University. The students of the new law programme also attended which gave them the opportunity to ask us any questions that they had.

It's great to see that the local University is now offering a law programme. Not only does it give the University the opportunity to offer a wider range of courses, but it also gives those local to Suffolk a chance to consider a career in law when perhaps they did not have the opportunity to do so.

Here's to a good future for the University of Suffolk.
