PPE held its 2019 Social on Friday 3 May, bringing together students, staff and alumni. This year our social was held in The Slate, with welcome drinks, a street food dinner and dancing. We were delighted to welcome back a number of alumni, and especially to hear some wise words from graduates Ionut, Jasmine and Arthi.

Ionut Ștefan-Bîrdea is an Analyst at Frontier Economics while also studying for an MSc in Economics part-time at Birkbeck University, Jasmine Dhaliwal is working for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and Arthi Nachiappan is Editorial Assistant at Wonkhe, a higher education policy thinktank. All three shared some of their experiences of being a Warwick PPE student, and gave some excellent advice to our current students.

We were also pleased to present our Final Year Student Ambassadors with their Ambassador T-Shirts, and four students were given special awards for their particular commitment to their positions. Congratulations to our prize winners:

• Stef Cerruti
• Salko Kadic
• Elena Lopez Serrano
• Josh Markert

Thank you to everyone who came along, and we hope it was a well-deserved break from revision for our students!
