Q: The VPSS sit on conduct committees, seeing students at the worst stage of their studies, how do you feel you are the best suited candidate to deal with this?
BA: Thinks it is important to introduce a universal standardised system across all departments. BA wants the disciplinary code for all students to be very strong. We need to provide ongoing pastoral care to students going through misconduct cases #GUSRCelections
EM: You need to balance your capacity for empathy with your emotional strength. Cites experiencing difficult and draining situations on HIVE nights. Has also dealt with internal misconduct cases and would be up for tackling this side of the role #GUSRCElections
A (RS): Understands this is a difficult part of the job. However, the cases are divvied up between the sabbs and having a good relationship between sabbs will help. Thinks they can really empathise with the students in those positions #GUSRCelections
A (MM): The biggest thing is to be able to empathise with the students. Many students breakdown when no one can relate to them. Being objective is also key, as is working the Schools to make sure everyone gets a fair hearing. #GUSRCElections
A (MM): Ensuring that students have a strong support network - pastoral care is key for students in these situations #GUSRCElections

Over the weekend & the past few days our student officers, & student volunteers, have been up at Halls helping to carry out welfare checks and deliver food parcels to isolating students.

Although students in University Halls are now getting some much needed help we know that there are many of you who might need help but haven’t received it, particularly if you’re living in private halls or just renting a flat.
The service will currently operate using an appointment system. These can be made on the same-day should you wish. Contact advice@src.gla.ac.uk to arrange an appointment.
All students visiting the service will be asked to follow the latest COVID-19 safety regulations:

Happy non-binary day! Today we celebrate our non-binary students & staff 💛💜🖤 #NonBinaryDay 1/6
Currently there are calls for gender-neutral passports to be approved in the UK. These already exist in Australia, Canada and Germany. GUSRC support this campaign and hope it is rolled out!
If you’re not non-binary, why not take today as an opportunity to learn more about the gender identities it includes, and how to support those who identify with them. The links below should help you!
GUSRC are proud & excited to present the @UofGlasgow Virtual Student Teaching Awards 2020! 🏆
Every year we host the #STAs to recognise the outstanding work of those who have gone above and beyond to make our time here at #TeamUofG the best it can possibly be 🌟 [1/4]
Usually we would host a fancy event in the Kelvin Gallery, however this year due to COVID we'll be doing a virtual version of the awards.
On our Facebook page from 09:00 - 17:30 on Friday 12th June, we'll be sharing a series of videos for each of the award categories. [2/4]
There will also be an intro from our VP Education Liam and speeches from senior members of staff at the University who have helped us over our 10 years of organising these awards. [3/4]
GUSRC stands in solidarity with the #BlackLivesMatter protesters in America. We have all been appalled by the levels of police brutality on show over the weekend.
At times like these we need to support our BAME friends and be good allies so we would urge you to reach out [1/2]
