Q for VPSS: One area that we struggle with in terms of support and welfare is PG students and particularly PG Research Students - what would you do to ensure we are looking after PGR students' welfare? #GUSRCElections
A (MM): specific engagement for that demographic of students (such as PhD students) and suggests using targeted events to involve them more within the SRC #GUSRCElections
A (BA): When writing manifesto spoke to the PG Research Convenor - would utilise the PG Network on Facebook. Lobbying the University as whole to improve the financial offering for postgrads #GUSRCelections
A (EM): thinks it would be very effective to have specific PG events - more effort from cross-campus to get them involved. Really important to speak to PG and have focus groups to come up with solutions #GUSRCElections
A (RS): Spoke to a number of PG students and spoke to a researcher from a School of Chemistry who felt left out from the student community. Thinks focussing a lot on engagement is key - course-specific buddy system, or school-based events #GUSRCElections
RS: "The low levels of satisfaction among postgraduate students is staggering" #GUSRCElections
