Student life - Welcome heroes video transcript

University of Derby three peaks logo appears on top of drone footage of a student walking across grass banks at Kedleston Road site.

A welcome hero wearing a pink t-shirt begins to speak while walking through a corridor on campus...

"Welcome to the University of Derby. We are your welcome heroes and we're super excited to give all our new and returning students a very warm Derby welcome."

• We see a welcome hero sat talking to a student.
• We see Basecamp Social Space at Kedleston Road site.
• We see another student walking to the entrance of Kedleston Road site.

"We are a group of helpful, supportive and friendly students who've been recruited to help you throughout your first week here at the University."

Another welcome hero sitting in a booth begins to speak...

"So make sure that you follow us on social media @derbyunistudent and check your emails regularly as we'll be sending you updates and information. Also, we've got an online student portal called UDO, where you can find updates on news and events."

• We see the UDO platform being demonstrated. Tiles of information is available, followed by a 'Student News' headlines page. 

Another welcome hero in the corridor begins to speak...

"The University and your Union of Students will be hosting a wide range of activities, from debates to socials."

• We see students at a trampoline park.
• We see students grabbing slices of pizza.
• We see students at a paint throwing event. 
• We see silouetted students in front of a gig stage. 

"We understand that the first few weeks of university can be scary, daunting and jam-packed but don't worry, we're here to provide you with some extra support. Look out for our pink tops on moving day and your first few weeks, we're here to help you if you have any questions."

One of the heroes shows off the back of their t-shirt which reads 'I'm one of the Welcome Heroes. I'm here to help, ask me anything!' 

The screen fades to black and we see the University logo containing three peaks before the video ends.
