What are your best memories of your time at Lancaster?

My favourite memory is when I started and captained the Nigerian Society football team alongside my friends. This opened up many opportunities to socialise but also generated lots of laughs. Co-founding the Careers Advancement Network Society also provided one of the best memories as whilst we were fortunate to be able to help other students, the community we built on the exec team was something that I valued too.
