As a final message from the 2020/21 committee, we wanted to say thank you to everyone for being a part of the American Studies Society for however long you have been, and for regularly showing up to events both in-person and online! 🇺🇸

[University of Leicester American Studies Society @uol_amstsoc]

Unfortunately there will be no society for the academic year 2021/22 as no committee positions have been filled, but we hope that in future years once students have returned from their year abroad, this will be restarted once again ❤

We've made this event slightly earlier than usual, as we know many will want to be heading to the pubs to celebrate with their friends/housemates afterwards. If this is something you are wanting to do, we would encourage booking ASAP as lots of students will be celebrating! (2/3)
