With freshers’ events going virtual, lectures going online and social distancing measures still very much in place, life just got a whole lot more daunting for new students starting university this term.  Many of them must be left wondering how they’ll ever make new friends.

Help is at hand, thanks to LEH’s University Clubs, which allow you to turn to a fellow LEH alumane, someone you already have an instant connection with, to answer your questions about any aspect of college life or just for a morale-boosting chat.  You can message each other directly via the site.

So if you are heading to university for the first time, do take a few moments to sign yourself up.  And students already at uni, we need you to join too please, so that we can build a really strong and supportive network to help fellow LEH alumnae. This is the link to the Clubs page of Holles Connect: https://www.hollesconnect.org.uk/clubs

Clubs already on the site include University of Durham, King’s College London, Oxford and Cambridge Universities and Warwick, but we intend to establish clubs for every major university, so please let us know if you’re interested in joining one that’s not up on the site already and we will set it up.  Please email: alumnae@lehs.org.uk.

Good luck for the year ahead – we’re here for you if you need us.  Please keep in touch.  We’d love to hear how you get on and we’re always interested to see your photos or receive any stories or blogs you write.
