North Avenue
When you read most ‘about’ pages, the company usually tries to create the perception that they are big and well established. Well, we are not! But someday we might be..or else we could just f**k everything up, who knows! To say we were born to create content would be an understatement..a very big understatement. I guess we just got bored of the same robotic news being delivered to us every day, so we decided to try to create something far less boring! We were fed up with the same old news bulletin beginning with ‘Hi, I am Brian Williams and you are watching news @ 6’.
Anyways, the goal of North Avenue is to keep you up-to-date with insightful & topical business stories via email for you to discuss and share with your friends. Expect us to drop by your inbox for a cup of coffee every Tuesday & Thursday morning. So if you are fed up of reading the same ding dong in traditional media, try giving some of our content a go. The more the merrier.

BLM Panel Discussion 24th June 2020
The death of George Floyd in the United States has sparked global uproar. We are in the midst of the largest civil rights movement the world has ever seen. At UCDSU, we support the Black Lives Matter protesters in the United States, but it is important to ask, how is racism present in our everyday lives? This panel discussion will focus on racism locally, nationally, and internationally. What are the experiences of Black students on campus? What is Aramark, how does it profit from Direct Provision, and why is it allowed to stay on campus? What is Direct Provision? What global patterns of racism are posing an imminent threat to BIPOC?
