Among US Tournament
Freshers
Virtual Santa Dash
We have had an exciting and dynamic year, adapting to hosting our events online for students
and staff. Below are some highlights:
To ensure the success of our Freshers Event this year we partnered with Freshers Festival
Group to bring Virtual Freshers to our students. 2785 students signed up to access content
from Virtual Freshers Festival. This included live Q&As with top influencers, interactive
workshops with big brands such as Google and Coca Cola and and thousands of giveaways.
The E-Sports society hosted an online Among Us gaming tournament in April to raise money
for Get Well Gamers. This was an exciting opportunity for students from different classes to
meet each other online while they game. The event was a great success with 77 students
participating across the college.
We were all sad that the usual Santa Dash was not happening in Glasgow this year, so we
decided to come up with our own alternative, inviting Students and Staff to get involved in a
bit of festive (virtual) fun leading up to Christmas. Participants were asked to complete a 3km
distance, either by walking, jogging, or running which resulted in £200 being raised in aid of
Beatson Cancer Charity.
