It was lovely to get to meet up in Academic Advisor groups today at Beamish despite the torrential rain! We hope that bringing back the Academic Advisor role will help to build #belonging and #community, while supporting students on their #Foundation Year and academic journey.

Say hello to Billy Bee, our Library Mascot! π
Many students nickname Bill Bryson Library "The Billy B", so when it came to choosing a mascot, Billy was perfect for the job! π
Youβll see them around the Library and popping up on our social media accounts π #DULib #DUWelcome
ALT Billy Bee, the library mascot, waving at the camera. They are standing outside of Bill Bryson Library.
