Announcing the launch of the Falmouth & Exeter Asian Society Padlet!
As a growing society, we believe that being feeling seen and heard is essential to the quality of our community's student experience.
For this reason, we emphasise the value of your engagement and suggestions. However, we have also come to recognise that approaching the society and committee directly can feel daunting for some.
Hence, we have launched the Falmouth & Exeter Asian Society Padlet. A safe space for you to submit your thoughts, ideas, and suggestions to Asian Society anonymously.
Click the Padlet icon (between the Home and Facebook icons) to get posting!
