Cardiff UniversityÔÇÖs Honorary Fellow Stephen Fry has narrated three short videos to remind us all about the services and facilities open to all students on The Student High Street, Park Place.┬á These services are here to help students make the most of being at university, get any support they may need and look after their mental and physical wellbeing. Videos for Cardiff University featuring the national treasure have already reached thousands of views online.
Harry Newman, former President of the StudentsÔÇÖ Union, stated that the purpose of this advertising campaign is ÔÇ£to inform all students of both the existence and whereabouts of the student facing services on Park PlaceÔÇØ. ┬á This campaign has been well received and awareness of the services increased last year.
The Student High Street houses one of the student support centres, an IT Service Desk, several Chaplaincies, Occupational Health Centre, Graduate Centre, Day Care Centre, Strength and Conditioning Gym and of course, the StudentsÔÇÖ Union. If you donÔÇÖt know where these services are, perhaps you should use the board game from your kitchen!
Each flat in all the Halls of Residences have been given a Student High Street board game designed to help freshers learn their way around the high street and hopefully ensure that, when the need arises, as many students as possible know where to find the appropriate service.┬á This, twinned with FryÔÇÖs animated tours, will hopefully increase awareness of the services available to Cardiff students. So tidy your rooms: Stephen will be round for a post-FreshersÔÇÖ inspection soon.
