CIPR Student Representative
Last week I was absolutely delighted when my class voted for me to become CIPR Student Representative for the University of Gloucestershire.
Despite my recent disagreements with the University over their clearly rushed decision concerning the University buses, I like the University. The University of Gloucestershire was my first choice out of the five Universities I was required to write down on my...
