This year, the Exec has changed, but what are the ‘top five’ positions? News Editor, Izzy Brann, explains below… President Let’s face it, Union Pres is the only true BNOC on campus.

However, the job is not as simple as it may initially sound! The President has to manage and implement new projects, ensuring that all stakeholder’s views are represented and is…
Volunteer Angharad Davis brings us everything we know so far about Rihanna’s upcoming album, R9. 2018 was a strong year for R&B and Hip-hop, with new albums dominating the charts by artists such as Cardi B and Drake. However, 2019 looks promising for Bad Gal Riri to finally make a comeback to music this year and reclaim her throne with her much anticipated 9th album being realised.

Returning volunteer Isaac Cave goes back to the days of his first article, and gives us his two pence on the next instalment of ‘Marvel’s The Punisher’. So, we’re back ladies and gents with Frank Castle in season two of ‘Marvel’s The Punisher’ and while I’ve been anticipating its release for some time, I think it’s incredibly inconsiderate of Netflix to release such a great distraction right in the middle of exam season. Nevertheless, in my very first article, I considered season one to be one of the best Netflix Originals, filled to the brim with enough gritty violence…
New volunteer Charlotte Daly looks at the benefits of joining a society while at university. University doesn’t just consist of hard work and academic pressure; it offers an array of exciting opportunities that can enhance your student experience. Loughborough University offers over 120 pre-existing societies and the chance to create your own. The array of extracurricular activities doesn’t stop there; the university showcases itself through the opportunity to participate in over 50 different sports, ranging in levels of ability.

Why did you found Fighting Robot Society, what do you do which is different?
