Christ Church student hopes to get Olympic experience
A second year Canterbury Christ Church University student is in with a chance of working at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Billy Webb, 20, a Multimedia Journalism student at Christ Church, is in line to gain a place as a ‘Games Maker’ at the event, working on the Press Team during the games.
Having undertaken to lengthy application process online, the student has been offered an interview and will be travelling up to the ExCel Centre in London tomorrow (04/05/11) to meet with some other hopefuls and potentially earn himself a place in the Press Team for the Olympics.
Having been alerted to the opportunity by one of his lecturers, Billy knew it was a chance he couldn’t afford to miss out on, saying: “I thought it would be a really good experience, a really good learning curve, it will look great on my CV and it’s obviously a huge event to be part of.”
It’s a field the student from Maidstone is interested in moving into, too. He said: “I really enjoy my sports so to be involved in something like that would be great.”
