Here over summer? Tell us what you really think (and be in to win!)

If you’re sticking around over summer and have time to participate in a student focus group, we want to hear from you… 

We’re seeking feedback about how UC communicates with students. We’d like to get an understanding of things like whether our messages are reaching you and grabbing your attention.   

If you’d like to take part in the focus group please email Hannah Seeley – hannah.seeley@canterbury.ac.nz outlining when you will be available over summer and what details we can contact you on. 

The focus group is expected to take around two hours and is open to all current UC students. All participants will go in the draw to win one of four $50 University Bookshop vouchers.
