Hi!
I’m Joe, your Social Chair for the coming year alongside being in my third year of a biology degree. I’m from the North-West and I’ve absolutely loved my time at Castle and in Durham over the past couple of years!
My top tip for any fresher would be to get yourself involved and join as many committees, sports, societies as possible early on and take every opportunity offered to you.
My job as Social is to organise and assist with the Social events in College including favourites such as Freshtival, Bierfest and Castle Day!
Feel free to ask me about: Social Committee, The Undie, Ball/June Ball Committee, Panto, Owengate and anything Castle. (Questions about Biology and Bailey Court also welcome)
If you would like to apply to Social Committee, I will be releasing applications shortly after Freshers’ Week so keep your eyes peeled and feel free to email me at castle.socialchair@durham.ac.uk with any questions!
