Dan Pothecary
Second year Education and English Literature student and student ambassador

I am delighted to be one of the first social media ambassadors for the uni. I enjoy helping applicants and their families as they apply to university and also when they arrive at the Hastings campus.

I lived in halls in my first year and now share a flat with six friends so I’m happy to answer any questions you may have about living in Hastings. As well as being an ambassador, I’m also a presenter on Burst, the university radio station.

You can contact me or Jen with any query, however big or small and if we can’t help then we’ll point you in the direction of someone who can!

Jen McGee
Second year Broadcast Journalism student and student ambassador

My lecturers told me about becoming a student ambassador. My job involves representing our uni and our campus in the best way possible and offering support at various events like open days.

I’ve recently started working on Facebook and Twitter to communicate with people who are thinking about studying here or have just joined. I’m online frequently throughout the week to update you all with the news from the campus, any events or taster days and I run regular Q&A sessions on a variety of subjects.

I think social media is a fantastic way of promoting our university and providing support and guidance to prospective or current students in a fun and human way.
