The year of transition
Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020-2021 academic year was held entirely online, students were unable to meet on-campus, and lectures had to completely transition into online learning.
Through all of this hardship, the Ramsay Society kept connected through the First Year Hackathon, Online Social Events, and even an Online Frank Morton over the 2020-2021 academic year.
Things were now about to change as we approached the 2021-2022 academic year, restrictions were lifted, and although a few students remained in Red-Listed countries, joining us online, the majority of the cohort was finally able to meet on-campus.
The Freshers Hackathon was still hosted Online, however, events such as Frank Morton, Year 2 Gathering, Paintballing, Football, and Shell Guest speaker events were finally held in-person.
As winter break approached, another lockdown resulted in many in-person event cancellations, COVID-19 cases were on the rise again.
However, with the start of 2nd term came new hope, as London began to lift COVID-19 restrictions. We could finally host the much sought for Paintballing and Football events in-person, alongside a field-trip to Newcastle University for Frank Morton Sports Day.
This year we were also able to welcome our new sponsors from Shell plc
