Explore St Andrews
Explore St Andrews was started by former Student Assocation President Freddie Fforde. The website was started to showcase more unusual aspects of University life and history, a hub for students, alumni and the town. This year, the Fellows took over the website and preserved all of Freddie's work, as well as adding a historical blog which is updated monthly. We pick topics that suit a theme for that month, or sometimes just something of interest. Over time we hope to expand the output of this project, diversifying in material. We hope for this site to become an intrinsic part of the University history, particularly after we all graduate, allowing new students and Fellows to focus on points of the University that they love and want to celebrate.
Interested in contributing?
The blog is an easy way to get involved with the Fellows, especially if you don't have much time to dedicate to physical volunteering; whether you simply advance an idea or contribute some research or write a whole piece, every bit is appreciated. It allows for you to put those academic research skills into practice on a topic that you're enthusiastic and passionate about, and to see your work online.
