…Because
everyone’s different
At USSA we strive to ensure that everything and anything that we do is both equal and diverse. Ensuring that the activities we run are open to all regardless of their own personal background and by making our own procedures open and transparent. By doing this we aim to ensure that all the students that we represent can make the best out of their Strathclyde Experience. (Darren Young, Vice President Equality & Diversity)
Services
In week 1 a fashion show was held on level 8 of the Union in association with Strathclyde’s media groups. It was a successful event with a great presence from Strathclyde Fusion, your student radio, and Strathclyde Telegraph. If you want to get involved with any of these groups, get in touch by emailing me on ussa.vps@strath.ac.uk. Keep a look out for my Safety Campaign! (Cat Morton, Vice President Services)
Activities and Development
I’d just like to use this opportunity to inform you that we have plenty of fantastic activities going on throughout the year at the Association. From Clubs and Societies to Community Engagement, we’ll have something for you to get involved in. We try to make getting involved as easy as possible so drop into level 7 and let us know how we can help you get in contact with the people who are making these activities happen and make sure you’re getting the most out of your Strathclyde Experience.
