If you so much as stepped out of your house this past Freshers’ Week, you can’t have missed seeing Welcome Team members bounding about campus.
These pink-clad heroes are responsible for looking after Exeter students during Freshers’ Week, doing everything from guiding students around campus to helping them get home on a night out.
In the latest of Exeposé’s Welcome Team profiles, get to know Cambria Bailey-Jones…
Name: Cambria Bailey-Jones
From: Bristol
Role on Welcome Team: Cornwall House Team member (and first time Teamer!)
Subject and year: Third year psychology
First year accommodation: JOC
Explain why you joined Welcome Team: I have such a wonderful time working with the Students’ Guild, and I wanted to let others know what it is all about. The lovely people are a bonus too!
Describe yourself in three words: Bubbly, excitable, determined.
Favourite Freshers’ Week moment: Trying to convince a guy asleep on the gravel in his front garden that his bed would, most definitely, be more comfortable! (This was after a 5 minute song and dance to find his key. It was in his pocket).
Society recommendations: XTV. It’s awesome.
Favourite Ram basket meal: Veggie bites and curly fries. The vegetables make it healthy, right?
Give you three top pieces of advice to freshers:
1. Join a society – or lots of societies. I can, without a doubt, say that most of my best friends at university have been made through my society. And they are great fun!
2. Talk to everyone, and keep trying to meet new people throughout your time at Exeter. Knowing lots of people will make your life so much more interesting.
3. Make the most of every experience you can as a student. You will probably never find this many amazing opportunities in the same place again!
And lastly, favourite fun fact:
Exeter is very close to a donkey sanctuary. Donkeys are cool.
