UoE Business School AcRep

Dear all,

Thank you for all the hard work you have done for our college. Together, we have processed hundreds of feedback from our students and navigated ourselves through one of the strangest years ever. Your work is a crucial part in making this university a better place.

That being said, to all of our final year reps, we will miss you and wish you all the best in your endeavours following your graduation. To our returning reps, we hope that your experience at AcRep had been rewarding, and we will delighted to see you again this fall.

I would also like to personally thank the incredible staff of the Business School for being as awesome as they have been this year. Without your constant support and guidance, our experience here would not be as amazing as it has been. Your service and dedication to our students has made a lifelong impact on the students of the Business School. Therefore, we are forever thankful and will never forget all the things that you have done for us.

It has been a great honour to work with you all as College Officer. I am incredibly proud of our work and all the things that we have accomplished throughout this year. I look forward to hearing about all the great things our new AcRep team will do in the next year from my dear friend and successor, Rostyslav, who will continue my work as the next CO.

Best wishes

Felix Tiratananan
