Charlotte Cowdell

I am the Advice Centre Manager, and I have been working as an Advisor in Students' Unions since graduating from University. University life comes with its own unique challenges, and I aim to be a friendly face to help you with any bumps along the road.

Vas Marinos

Hi, I’m Vas, your Welfare Advisor. I’m here to help you out and be at your service, for almost anything that surrounds your student life and beyond. I’m a Trekkie, love basketball, philosophical talks, long walks into the sunset and good food. I approach life with a platonic idealism and an innate thirst to get things right. I come from Greece so I always enjoy a good conversation over a nice cuppa and a game of backgammon. Live long and prosper!

Mollie Gates

I’m here to support and advise you through anything life throws at you during your time at Warwick. When I’m not drinking gallons of tea, you’ll probably find me talking about what country I’d love to travel to next, and how much I couldn’t live without my dog. I’m a firm believer in your personal growth during your time at university being just as much a part of your experience as your educational achievements are… and I’ll be here to help you along the way. See you around!

Heather Groves

I’m here to support you through your time at Warwick and help with anything the university experience holds for you. My bright blue hair makes me easily identifiable, and I love Late Antique history and anything relating to myths and fables so much that I did an MA in Medieval Studies.

Testimonials

“Very useful and efficient service would highly recommend to all students”

“The advice was very well researched and allowed us to make the best decisions with all the information in front of us. It also allowed us to feel like we could handle the situation ourselves with the support of the university”

“Was able to navigate an extremely tricky situation with my landlord because of the responsive and very well-informed advice services”

“I found the service really great and supportive. My enquiry was handled really quickly and the advisor I spoke to really took the time to listen and understand my situation which I really appreciate!”

“You were so prompt with all your responses and never made me feel like I was alone. I felt like I had support and for that reason, I don't think that there is anything that you could do better”
