Excitement is in the air as East Sussex College prepares to host the return of VeganFest!

We have had a busy start to this academic year with all varieties of events and activities we have put together for ESCG students across all campuses. From massive events like Freshers where we had so many external organisations come in to show you what they had to offer in your area, different clubs and societies set up for students to enjoy outside of the classroom, and for the first time we had a Degree fair to introduce you to what the future may hold for you after your time with us!

Last term at East Sussex College, we were able to host and organise the most events that have ever been put on. Whether it be raising money for Charity, putting on shows or relaxing and watching a movie, there was something for everyone at every campus this Christmas season.

We are excited to bring you a brand new TOP 5 series which will be here on My Student Life and we are kicking things off with a Veganuary special. It is thought that over 250,000 people had taken the pledge to try a vegan diet this January - more than ever before.

In the historic town of Lewes, the local community recently witnessed a spectacular showcase of talent as students from ESC college took centre stage at the Con Club.

Disability History Month isn’t just a commemoration of the struggles and triumphs of individuals with disabilities but a celebration of inclusivity and progress. This year's observance has been particularly enlightening, with a diverse range of events that have not only raised awareness, but actively engaged participants in understanding and supporting the disabled community.

East Sussex College has planted 750 trees with the production of the College’s ‘Season’s Greetings’ card this December, reaffirming its commitment to becoming carbon zero by 2030.

The air is filled with the sweet scent of cinnamon, twinkling lights adorn every street corner, and the joyous melody of carols resonates through the crisp winter air. It can only mean one thing – Christmas is around the corner. As we eagerly count down the days to this festive season, there's a unique tradition that has captured the hearts of many: Christmas Jumper Day.

Did you know that it is currently Disability History Month? It's a fantastic time to learn, celebrate, and raise awareness about the incredible achievements and challenges faced by people with disabilities throughout history. Let's dive into why this is so important and how we can be a part of this meaningful celebration.
