University of Glasgow students,

University of Glasgow students,

The following services will be closed from Friday 18th December until Tuesday 5th January.

1. Prepare, Prepare, Prepare

Hello, I’m Hailie Pentleton, and I’m the Disability Equality Officer for GUSRC. December 3rd is ‘International Day of Disabled People’ which is just one day of Disability History Month (observed between November 18th and December 20th). To my disabled peers, I wish you a restful day and encourage you to pay extra attention to your needs; don’t be afraid to practice a little more self-care today.

1. Let's Agree

[Update 23.11.20: Please note that although we refer to 'Tier 4" throughout this blog, we are in fact referring to the Level 4 restrictions as outlined by the Scottish Government - these ought not to be confused with the separate tier system used by the UK Government.]

So you’ve just arrived in Glasgow and you’re worried you’ve missed out on Freshers’ Week and all of the welcome activities… Well don’t worry November newcomers, as GUSRC and The Gilchrist Postgraduate Club have teamed up to bring you a great line-up of events and content to help you meet new people and learn all about life here at UofG!

Who are we?

We’re the Students’ Representative Council, also known as the SRC. We do lots of things, but basically we exist to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable University experience by providing support, representation, and engagement opportunities. We’re a small organisation made up of our council of elected student representatives plus a small team of part-time and full-time staff. We are led by a team of sabbatical officers (pictured L-R): Amy (Vice President Student Activities), Liam (President), Ella (Vice President Student Support), and Grigoris (Vice President Education).
