University Ambassadors

On Tuesday 20 June we welcomed back a number of our OLs for a University Ambassadors event.

This event takes place to help our students get advice from the people who have stood exactly where they are currently standing.

The University Ambassador Programme encourages our Lower Sixth to consider their options upon leaving Lancing as well as how to settle into university life. This engaging event provides a unique opportunity for pupils to pose questions to our OLs and capture some key information about universities, the city and student life on and off campus and what societies they might like to join.

Fifteen universities were represented at the event, as well as a wide range of courses from Financial Mathematics to Digital Culture.

Catherine Reeve, Foundation Director, said: ‘This annual event comes at an important time when our Lower Sixth students are about to make serious choices about their future. These sessions with young OLs, some of whom only left Lancing a year ago, are invaluable as they give a peer-to-peer insight into life at university and beyond. I know that many of our University Ambassadors come back to do this because they really appreciated the experience themselves when they were at Lancing and we are extremely grateful to all involved.’

A huge thank you to all the OLs who supported us at this event.
