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 havenโt received it, particularly if youโre living in private halls or just renting a flat.

We want to hear from you to make sure youโve got the support you need. Get in touch with us at enquiries@src.gla.ac.uk

These are incredibly challenging times to be a student and if youโre just starting at UofG we canโt imagine how difficult this must be for you.

๐ฅ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ฎ๐น๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ: there are so many services available to you should you need help and we are here to support you through this.
You can contact us at any time with your issues, and your sabbatical officers are also here to help.
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.

Happy non-binary day! Today we celebrate our non-binary students & staff ๐๐๐ค #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 youโre 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! ๐
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 ๐ [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]
a hand of friendship to anyone you think may be struggling right now.
We'll continue to do what we can to work with BAME communities locally and nationally to stamp out racism wherever it is found. [2/3]
UofG BAME students can find support contacts and resources on this page โถ๏ธ gla.ac.uk/myglasgow/humaโฆ [3/3]
From all of us here at GUSRC well done and be proud of yourself as we all are of you! The future may seem uncertain but there is so much for @UofGlasgow students to be proud of having achieved already ๐
