Hi Everybody!

My name is Kenneth, and I am this year’s mentor for those of you applying to study Religious Studies & EPR here at Lancaster

So, I thought it was about time I introduced myself, and said a little bit about this blog.

I’m currently a Master’s Student, reading for a degree in Religion and Conflict. I also studied at Lancaster for my undergraduate degree, which was in International Relations and Religious Diversity. So, I’ve been here a while…

This year I will be mentoring any RS students starting their degree here in Sept 2019. So, keep an eye on this blog. Every week or so I will be posting a short post about what it is like to be an undergraduate student in the PPR department like, what you might want to bring with you, what a lecture is, and what is Fresher’s Week like!

I would also like to introduce our mascot, Lumpy! 

As you can probably tell from his name, Lumpy is a Heffalump teddy…

This year he will be following me around, helping me document what university life is like. So, keep an eye out for him around social media and open days, he is rather mischievous! He mostly hangs out on my twitter (@kenarchy97) but will also feature on this blog and our Instagram account which will be coming soon! 

So yeah, that is us. I am really looking forward to getting to know you all and to help you prepare for coming to Lancaster!! Next week, I’ll be writing a short blog about what my first week at Lancaster university was like.

Best wishes!!

Kenneth and Lumpy
