Instagram post 2184187100262115933_1499062485 We’re joining forces with @thisislsr and @leedsstudenttelevision on Wednesday 4th December! 📰📺🎤 Link in our bio for the event details.

The free event will feature four panels from a variety of industry experts and alumni with discussions on gender, race, sexuality and disability and how this has affected the panellists’ experience in the media. 
These will take place consecutively from 11am-3pm. Following this, we will host three practical workshops on print media, radio and television so that members can learn skills to inspire them to get involved while at University and in the future. 
No matter your race, gender, sexuality or ability, it's important to understand the experiences of others around you. 💙💜💚 #diversity #media #journalismstudent #studentradio #studenttv #leedsuniversity

The food stall is run by Aissa Toure from Monday to Wednesday every week. Aissa was told to stop trading on 22nd May because of new health and safety issues. The stall is popular with societies like @onbeatzine, @leedsacs and @luublackfemsoc 
Aissa, friends, and family as well as many students resisted the decision and protested, arguing it was unlawful.

Instagram post 2045733723933999167_1499062485 Gamble Aware's 'Bet Regret Barbershop' is stopping off at Leeds University Union today, offering free haircuts to sports fans who open up about their gambling habits.

Recent studies revealed that 1.2 million students in the UK gamble, two in three gambled in the past month, and that one in four student gamblers bet more than they can afford. Young men are the group at highest risk of gambling irresponsibly.

If you're in need of a haircut or would like to chat openly about gambling, pop by their stall for a trim and a chinwag.
