Ellie – Furnessians! My name is Ellie, I’m a third year Physical Geography student and your Education and Opportunities Officer. My role is to support you, Furness Students, make the most out of your University and College experience. In particular, my role focuses on encouraging you to explore your options and on your personal development. This ranges from promoting workshops on skills development, the Lancaster Award, entrepreneurship through Mind Your Own Business, seeking part time work or voluntary opportunities – I am here to help you! Furthermore, as part of the wider welfare team I’m here as a friendly face in Furness, whether stressed with exams, feeling home-sick, or just in want of a chat, I’m there for you!
