Notification of changes to planned activity
A national Bank Holiday has been declared for the day of Queen Elizabeth’s funeral, Monday 19 September.
This is the start of Welcome Week at Marjon, and the day when most first years were due to travel to campus for essential inductions. We have therefore made some amends to the planned activity.
