MONTHLY REPORT (Ref.001) NAME: STEVEN MILLS ELECTED POST: PRESIDENT (Education & Welfare) DATE: NOVEMBER - DECEMBER Update and achievements from previous month
COMMUNITY Student Accommodation and Allocation – Had a meeting with University staff about the Accommodation strategy, the refurbishment of woolmanhill and the review of room allocation for incoming students. Christmas – Tried to raise spirits and create a Christmas wonderland at RGU: Union. Restricted funds limited my imagination.
ENGAGEMENT World Aids Day – As part of the Sexual Health Campaign, I recognised World Aids Day by setting up a condom Pic’N’Mix stall outside for the week which was very successful. I also created an ‘AIDS’ wall which spelt the word in Condoms and invited students to take a condom from the wall and help eliminate AIDS (eventually the word would disappear). For LightUpScotland I got RGU to illuminate Riverside East and the Library in RED light only from 28th November to the 2nd December. Lastly, I promoted the #CondomWelfairy
REPRESENTATION
AGM – Attended the 2nd AGM. I encouraged all Student Reps to go as part of their role, which turned out to be the majority of those attended. Introduced the Constitution through a very inspirational speech which obviously passed. Answered question put forward to the Sabbaticals. QEUC – Attended the Quality Enhancement University Committee and enforced my points raised in LISC and TALSC. Very positive meeting and received praise from staff for my contribution. Student Rep – Continuing strong communication with the Reps. Seen a major improvement in the use of comms channels such as moodle forum and Facebook. Faculty Officers also have their own emails now to engage with the demographic body. Student Affairs Forum – Small turn out due to time of year and
