After the successful launch of GU Volunteering's ‘Glasgow University Environmental Task Force’ (GUETF) last year, the good work continues. We're back!

For this event, we're going to clean-up the streets around campus; University Avenue, Kelvin Way and nearby, right after Freshers' Fair today.

In partnership with the university the SRC sources additional study spaces that students can use during the examination period. For the Spring 2019 examination diet the following rooms are available until Friday 17th May:
