\u201cAlas, poor Yorick! I knew him\u2026\u201d<\/strong> – Hamlet <\/em>(Act 5, Scene 1)<\/p>\n

And hopefully you do too after a fantastic week of Shakespeare puns, plays and competitions!<\/p>\n

It appears you were all very keen to welcome a little light relief to your stressful studying to play along with our #WhereforeArtThouWilliam<\/a> competition last week. We had lots of entries into the daily prize draws and with puntastic prizes such as these who wouldn\u2019t want to join in\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Prizes\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To celebrate the 400th<\/sup> anniversary of William Shakespeare\u2019s death<\/a> (also his birthday!) we posted a series of unusual photographs on Instagram<\/a>, Twitter<\/a> and Facebook<\/a> inviting you to guess the PLACE on campus and the PLAY from the hidden clues!<\/p>\n

Some days were a little bit trickier than others, so we did send out a clue or two, but we were able to give away a prize each day as well as a big bag of Shakespeare and Learning Services goodies to one lucky winner!<\/p>\n

\"Winners\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And on the big day itself, Saturday 23rd<\/sup> April, we celebrated even further with a FREE book give away as part of World Book Night<\/a>. Although it is a very busy time of year for our students it is also important to take a break from stressful workloads\u2026and what better way to escape reality than reading for pleasure!<\/p>\n

There was one small catch to getting your hands on a free book – you had to take a #SelfieWithShakespeare (well, it was his birthday after all!) This was also in support of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust<\/a> campaign.<\/p>\n

\"selfies\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Vital Statistics<\/strong><\/p>\n

Did you know Learning Services were on Instagram<\/a>, Twitter<\/a> and Facebook<\/a>?<\/p>\n

As you can see our stats went a little bit crazy as a result of #WillOnCampus \u2013 so HI, HELLO and WELCOME to all our new followers! 👋<\/p>\n
