Record number of sessions for UJIA JAMS UJIA JAMS ran a record 477 sessions at schools across the country this academic year. This could not have been possible without the effort and dedication of the J-Soc chairs and support from speakers, volunteers and organisations getting on board the UJIA JAMS project. We want to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved for making this year a real success. The first ever UJIA JAMS campus session took place at Haberdashers' Aske's School for Girls this term, where 25 students gathered to talk about different universities and what would be best suited to them.
