Testimonial from previous FW Captain
"Thank you, Students' Union, for this incredible opportunity to serve as a Freshers' Week Captain. I gained confidence in communication and strengthened my teamwork and leadership abilities. I learned to organise and adapt, especially during the dynamic moments of the event. I would wholeheartedly encourage others to participate in future events — it's not just a chance to contribute but a unique opportunity to grow personally and professionally."
