THE Big Student Takeover officially came to an end yesterday (Thursday) with a presentation event.
It was held at the Novotel in Stevenage where the entire Big Student Takeover team were given certificates for the excellent work they’ve done for the Comet newspaper during the last two weeks.
Lunch was provided and everyone had a great time to end the fortnight of collaboration.
The Internships
At the start of the Big Student Takeover students were told there will be internships available for two students at the end of the takeover.
The two winners, Wayne Johnson and Melissa Agard, were announced at a presentation event yesterday with Wayne set to work with the digital team and Melissa with the news desk.
