Ms Medea Lajtar is Sport Mentor for the Institute of Earth Systems for the academic year 2022/2023 under the University's Student Athlete Support Programme (SASP).

The SASP aims to assist students who practice sport on a regular basis, at a national and/or international level, to find a balance between their studies and their training or competition. Acting as the contact points between the student athlete and the academic and administrative fronts, Sport Mentors offer support in dealing with any issues, and thus help to ensure that students are able to excel both academically and in their chosen sporting discipline.

Student athletes reading for any of the Institute's courses are encouraged to join the programme and to contact Ms Lajtar for more information.
