College life isn’t just about studying. A big part of life at EKC Dover College is creating memorable experiences and connecting with your fellow students.
Your Students’ Union, led by SU President Sam, has put together these essential tips to help you get involved and make the most of the fantastic events happening at College.

Keep an Eye out and stay informed
One of the best ways to stay informed about upcoming events is by regularly checking the notice boards around campus. These boards are constantly updated with fresh information about new trips, activities, and opportunities. Take a few minutes during your breaks to have a look on these boards as you might find something exciting that interests you. You can always ask the Students’ Union what’s happening and coming up.
Book Your Place
Found an event that catches your eye? If it’s happening during lesson time and could enhance your learning experience, speak to your tutor about booking your group in. Remember, you’re not limited to curriculum-based events – you can always attend activities during your free time too. The earlier you book, the better your chances of securing a spot as some trips are limited to a certain number of students.

Show Up and Get Involved
Events happen at various times such as during breaks, lunch hours, and even on days when you might not have classes scheduled. Don’t let not being in class stop you from joining in. You’re welcome to come into College on your day off to participate in events or trips. It’s a brilliant way to make the most of your College experience.

Share Your Ideas
Your voice matters and has an impact on what happens in College.
If you have an idea for a great event or trip, pop your suggestions in the box at the student centre. Alternatively, speak to your Class Rep, who can bring your ideas forward at the next meeting. We’re always looking for fresh ideas to make College life more exciting for everyone.

Embrace the Experience
College events and trips are carefully chosen to make your student experience unique and memorable. While attending events, take the opportunity to socialise with students from different courses and years. Chat with new people, participate in activities, and most importantly, have fun! These experiences often lead to lasting friendships and wonderful memories of your time at College.
