ReplyDeleteHi Christine,
ReplyDeleteI find it odd that there there has been little marketing for this event. As a Psychology graduate of Hope it is very strange that no-one received details of this, I've also spoken to current students who also had no idea, which is a shame as there are some of us that would have liked to attend.
