10 AUTUMN 2015 Smoke Free Campus WE ARE NOW A SMOKE FREE ENVIRONMENT AFTER STAFF AND STUDENTS VOTED OVERWHELMINGLY TO MAKE ALL CAMPUSES SMOKE FREE FROM THE 2015 - 16 SESSION ONWARDS. We are now smoke free on all campuses, car parks and grounds of the College. This will enhance the health and wellbeing of students, staff and visitors. Smoke FREEus Camp Every student was made aware of the new smoke free policy throughout the induction process. The Smoke Free signs which are displayed at all campus entrances were designed by Creative Arts student Suzanne Penman. Suzanne said “I have really enjoyed working with the marketing team at Ayrshire College over the summer. It was a great opportunity to get relevant work experience in graphic design. I am pleased everyone liked my design and I hope that it will be effective in promoting that we are now a smoke free college.” We are working with Councils to ensure that residents in the immediate vicinity of our campus buildings are not negatively impacted by our smoke free policy. It is important that staff and students respect our neighbours by not dropping litter or smoking near homes.
