Welcome

Welcome to university life! And welcome back to our returning students. September is a great time to find out about all the student opportunities available to you at your students’ union.
Two committee members sit at a table and talk to students interested in joining their society.

Welcome is the start of the academic year at university, the opportunity to meet your community, get to know your students' union, and find out more about all of the activities you can get involved in.

The Falmouth and Exeter Students’ Union is a not-for-profit organisation focused on improving the university experience for students at Falmouth University and the University of Exeter in Cornwall. We are here to act in your benefit and represent you.

You are represented by your sabbatical officer team. They are students who are elected into their role to lead the students' union for a year. The Presidents and Vice Presidents make decisions on the future of your union.

Your sabbatical officer team 2024/25

Four people sit on a bench, smiling towards the camera. From left to right, Marketa (Vice President), Jadelle (President Falmouth), Connie (President Exeter) and Fina (Vice President) lean together with their arms around each other.

SU President Falmouth

Jadelle Luckman

Hi, I’m Jadelle (she/her)! I’m from the West Midlands but moved to Cornwall to start my degree in Popular Music in 2020 (I’m basically a local now). I really enjoy spending my free time at the beach or going on costal walks. I also love to go to open mic nights to both sing and watch other musicians.

After being a student at Falmouth for four years, I am extremely passionate about the student experience and aim to improve this throughout my year as President Falmouth. My desire to be a representative and a (very) loud voice for students of minority groups stems from working as an ambassador during my time as a student. Community, collaboration, and employability skills are key to driving successful student projects, therefore, these areas are the forefront of my manifesto.

SU President Exeter

Connie Chilcott

I’m Connie, your President Exeter for 24/25, I’m a spirited person who loves the ocean and you’ll often find me on the beach or in the sea! My background is centred around community organising and collaboration, I strongly believe that meaning can be found within our relationships with others. This belief has made me an empathetic person with a drive to create change in our communities. I find the ocean to be a magical and calming place, it rejuvenates me and allows me to decompress - something that’s necessary in our busy lives! I enjoy spending time surrounded by loved ones, usually sharing a home-cooked meal or laughing in nature; these relationships sustain and nourish me. With a care for our Earth and all inhabitants, I hope to encourage and uplift our diverse community to thrive and generate change.

SU Vice President

Marketa Carruthers

Hi all! I'm the new Vice President for 2024/25 and I love an adventure and protecting the health of our planet lies at the core of my motivations.

This year, I am here to represent the student voices of those that believe in a green future. Without the health of the Earth, there is no health of people. Sometimes it feels as though our future is bleak, but that is why we can come together to empower our voices and fight for change.

SU Vice President

Fina Day

Hey all, I’m Fina (they/them) one of your Vice Presidents for 2024/25! I am recent zoology graduate originally from Northampton, Massachusetts. As a queer international student, I am passionate that everyone on campus should feel included, safe, and like they belong. This year I aim to combine my passions for conservation and the natural world with my strong beliefs surrounding inclusion, mental health support, and amplified minority voice. When not in the office you are likely to find me wandering barefoot through gardens, out on the water rowing, or cuddled up with a cup of tea and a crochet project. I am always down for a stroll around campus, or a hot drink so please don’t hesitate to come find me with any issues or just for a chat!

How can I get involved with The SU?

Every student at Falmouth University and the University of Exeter in Cornwall is automatically a member of The SU - you're already involved! You can join a sports club or society, chat with your course rep or volunteer to be a course rep, make a suggestion to improve your uni experience on Make a Change, or simply attend one of our many events to help you connect with people like you. We've got plenty of ideas for things you can and places to visit when you're studying in Cornwall.

Welcome 2024 events

The best way to meet new people and get settled at university is to explore the range of opportunities available to you. At The SU, you are the centre of everything we do, if students are interested in it, so are we!

Budget now, save yourself the stress. Getting your money in line now will benefit you when it comes to planning out the things you want to do this year, whether that looks like travelling over the winter break or comfortably ordering a special celebratory drink when your assignment results come up. You can get free budgeting help from our Advice team.

Taking care of yourself

New place, new housemates, new course, new people: this is a busy time that can be overwhelming. You don’t have to make friends and feel sparkly the whole time.

You can find lots of helpful platforms and links in our mental health resources but if you need more help, you might want to talk to the student support team.

Your questions answered

How do I get tickets for events?

Any student can book a ticket for our events. Booking tickets helps us to understand what you're interested in and informs our event plans in the future.

If you are a new student, head to the new student sign up page. Fill out your details and save. If you have your student number, please make sure you include it in the form. Once you have saved your details, you need to log in to the website where you can book your tickets and get ready for your arrival in September. If you have any issues, please email The SU team.

If you are a current student, log in with your university single-sign on and book tickets by visiting each event and following the instructions.

When does Welcome start?

Welcome Week officially starts from Monday 16 September 2024 with lots of students moving into university owned accommodation from Thursday 12 September 2024.

When is the Welcome Fayre?

The Welcome Fayre is on Wednesday 18 September 2024, from 12pm until 3pm at the Penryn Campus. We are hosting a quiet hour for neurodivergent, shy, or noise sensitive students from 11am until 12pm. You can also book a tour at any point throughout the day.

Who can come to the Welcome Fayre?

The Welcome Fayre is for Falmouth University and University of Exeter Cornwall students only. Any non-students will be removed from Penryn Campus by security. Exceptions to this rule include:

  • Carers of students attending the event
  • Pre-registered commercial stallholders

I'm not a first year - can I come to Welcome events?

Absolutely! We would love to see you! Any of our students can come to any of our events.

I'm a postgraduate student - are there any events for me?
