Week 10 Newsletter

Hello again branch here! Week 10 has arrived and a lot is on for everyone in Redbrick and in DCU life in general, along with all the work that comes in as the semester starts to come to an end. So we here at Redbrick wish you all the best of luck with keeping on top of all of it.

Last week was an amazing week for learning, with all of our great events, such as having our friends at Tenable and Speakeasy here for great talks! Last week wasn’t just for knowledge though, we all had a great time at our Intersocs Social Night and I hope to see everyone again next year! Don’t feel left out if you didn’t get to come to something we hosted last week. We have plenty on this week for you all to come and enjoy, such as a great talk on Web development by our one and only Webmaster fraz. Invite all your friends, have a great time and maybe learn a few new things. We'd love to see you all there!
