Information about HeppSY
Hi there everyone! This is Grace and Gina from HeppSY. You might have seen us around campus or in your classrooms already, but here’s a quick introduction to who we are.
What is HeppSY?
HeppSY (The Higher Education Progression Partnership South Yorkshire) is a programme designed to work with students to give them the best possible opportunities to make an informed choice about their future, and to learn about routes into and through higher education. We’re funded by the Office for Students and work in partnership with The University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University. HeppSY are in schools and colleges all over South Yorkshire, but we (Grace and Gina) are placed specifically here at The Sheffield College.
Who are we?
Because we are based at The Sheffield College, working with the careers team, it gives us a better chance to work with students and really help you where needed. We’ll be doing workshops in your classroom, keeping you informed through the UCAS process, and organise visits and visitors to and from Higher Education Institutions (Universities). We’re each based cross college and can pop over to wherever campus is needed.
Grace:
I moved to Sheffield from my hometown of Grimsby to study Performance for Stage and Screen at Sheffield Hallam university and have stayed here ever since. If you’d like to get in touch, you can email me at g.halton@shu.ac.uk
Gina:
I studied Fine Art and English Literature at university, I loved the experience so much I went on to get a masters degree in Eighteenth Century Studies. Feel free to pop by for a chat to Student Central or you can email me at georgina.self@sheffcol.ac.uk
