You are invited to an exciting and informative evening to welcome you to the start of the academic year at the Business School. Come along and meet your fellow students and faculty!

The evening begins with a Welcome Fair, where services from around the University will be available to chat and share with you what they can offer. Look out for the Student Life Centre, Buddy Scheme, the Business School Placements Team, Sussexsport and others, all available to answer any questions you may have.

We're delighted to be hosting Sussex MBA Alumnus Alinery Lianhlawng for a guest lecture. Alinery, who has pioneered a venture to create school libraries for marginalised communities in her home state in India, will be speaking about her experience of overcoming adversity, seizing opportunities and building resilience. There will also be two short talks from our Student Mentors who can give you an insight into student life at Sussex. The talk will include a short Q&A so don't miss your opportunity to ask questions!

Following the lecture we'll be serving free food from Crocus Paella (vegan option available, gluten, nut and dairy free) as well as soft drinks. You'll then be welcome to stay to browse the fair, use the photobooth, play some games and socialise with Business School students and faculty.
