AcFams

CompSoc family, we have a big announcement for you!

Are you in 1st year? Go to family.comp-soc.com/children instead

We’ve been working hard to make plans for the upcoming year that accommodate all of you, and part of this plan is to introduce Academic Families!

This is where students in older years ‘adopt’ freshers, and it’s a great way of helping the community, meeting new people, and having a good time together! We’re keeping it simple for now, with students in year 2 or above as the parents, and freshers as the children.

Anyone in CompSoc is welcome to join, and you can even propose to your AcFam spouse-to-be!

To sign up as a parent all you need to do is fill out this form by the 20th of September

If you would like to ask any questions about becoming a parent or for help with the form please email [email protected].
