Today marks the start of #BlackHistoryMonth and we wanted to start it off by telling you a bit about UofG alumnus James McCune Smith - the first African American to be awarded a medical degree anywhere in the world #UofGBHM20

James McCune Smith was born into slavery in 1813 in New York City. Despite being intellectually brilliant, he was denied entry to American universities due to his race. So he came to Scotland to study at the University of Glasgow.

Dr Smith earned three degrees at UofG, returned to New York in 1837 to open his own medical practice and pharmacy (the first African American owned and operated pharmacy in America) and became a leading figure for black civil rights and the abolitionist movement.

Students in residences: thank for your patience and cooperation. We're doing our best to support you and wanted to provide another quick update here.

@scotgov

Yesterday @scotgov published new guidance around leaving halls of residence to return home, including both short visits and moving on a permanent basis.

Check your inbox for the email or visit this page for guidance in full: gov.scot/publications/c…

As announced yesterday, we'll also be transferring £50 to students in our residence to encourage food deliveries from some of our city's fantastic local shops and restaurants. To claim this, please complete the steps detailed in the email you will have received this afternoon.

THREAD: #COVID19 Update (Weds 2 Sept)

The health & wellbeing of our staff & students is our top priority. Following the latest government guidelines, we’d like to highlight some of the measures we’re putting in place as we prepare for the new academic year.

The Scottish Government has issued updated guidance for Glasgow: gov.scot/publications/c…

We have put in place extra measures on our campus to make sure you can safely return to UofG – and we will issue more guidance available over the coming weeks – so please watch this space!

New students may be wondering what life at UofG is going to be like in this 'new normal' so #TeamUofG are here talk about what to expect from freshers’ week, teaching, accommodation, catering & more.
