21.01.2022 ECU Results came out today which can be a celebration for those who did great or a brick wall if you didn't get the result you wanted. To those celebrating, Congratulations! You've worked hard and you deserve a rest. To those who didn't get what they were hoping for, don't beat yourself up. It's been a hectic year that few could have predicted. You did the best you could as best you could this year. (I think that makes sense. Don't @ me). Don't give up. 2021 is a new year and two new semesters. There's plenty of help available at ECU and ECSLS. Let's aim to improve together!

20.01.2022 Last Friday we hosted a webinar with The College of Law to provide the ECU law cohort with some insight into the journey to becoming a qualified lawyer. We would like to extend our thanks to Pia Castelli, who represented the College of Law, as well as to our three speakers, Alex Dew, Kendra Hagan, and Chanelle Kane. The webinar was a great success, and we aim to make the recording available soon!
