I\u2019d like to take this chance to introduce you to the Studying Business at Southampton Blog, where everyone will have a chance, and be actively encouraged, to contribute to. The blog was started last year, as an initiative of the Business Programmes Co-Design Group and, as such, has a large student focus.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Do take a few minutes of your time and browse through some of our previous articles to see what we get about to! In short, our articles range from analysing the business world to discussing interesting lectures to relaying what the co-design team has been up to! I\u2019d like to make a personal invitation to each new colleague joining us to contribute an article to the blog as often as you are able to. It can be anything about the business world, from politics to technology. It can be an opinion piece or it can present facts. It can be about something a session stimulated thought upon or something that look your interest in a newspaper. Should you want to contribute or run anything by me, don\u2019t hesitate to contact me at <a href=\"mailto:busprogs@soton.ac.uk\">busprogs@soton.ac.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to meeting you all during your induction sessions on the 27<sup>th<\/sup> of September and during the Opening Conference on the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> of October. In the meantime, I very much hope you all enjoy Fresher\u2019s Week (you\u2019ll most certainly see me out and about), and that you settle well into the university, city and your halls.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>All the best,<\/p>\n<p>Zak Rakrouki<\/p>\n<p>Editor of the Business Programmes Blog<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; I\u2019d like to personally welcome all of our new colleagues joining us this week at the University of Southampton, especially those who are joining us in the Business School!
