Welcome to the Union! Welcome to the University of Strathclyde Students’ Association (USSA) - aka The Union! I’m Raj, and back in March I was elected as the President of your Union to represent you and improve your Strathclyde experience. As an International student from Malaysia, I was excited about the number of clubs, cafes, and campaigns Strathclyde offers. I got involved in as much as I could, and quickly found my home in Strathclyde Union. Now I’m proud to be Strathclyde’s first International president. The Union is here to help you meet people and have fun! With over 50 sports teams, 165 clubs & societies (you could even start your own) and exciting volunteering opportunities, there really is something for everyone! We exist to represent your interests to the University and beyond. You can join our campaigns or bring your ideas and make a change at Student Parliament. Get involved, try new things, make new friends & gain new skills! Our Advice Hub staff and Nightline volunteers are here to advise and support you when you need help with housing, financial, academic or personal matters. We celebrate diversity and push for a socially progressive University so if that’s your sort of thing, come and talk to us! We are a charity. So the money you spend in our shops, bars, and venues, including the iconic Barony bar, goes back into funding services for students. So come and get involved! You are the Strathclyde Students’ Union. Together, let’s make it the time of our lives! Raj Jeyaraj President 2016/17 ussa.president@strath.ac.uk 0141 567 5006 @RajBrighton 02

VICE PRESIDENT SUPPORT I ensure The Union works hard to improve the welfare of all students, by overseeing services such as our Advice Hub, and advocating for a safe and supported student experience so that students can perform the best they can on their course. I also work closely with the VP Sports & Wellbeing in promoting a healthy student lifestyle. Whether it is housing, finances or studies, student life can be tough. I work to make sure that help is here when you need it. Gerry McDonnell VP Support ussa.vps@strath.ac.uk 0141 567 5029 @UssaVps
VICE PRESIDENT SPORTS & WELLBEING Hey! I’m Calvin Hepburn and I’m your VP Sports & Wellbeing for 2016-17. I’m here to help you guys keep active and get involved in sport at university, which was the best decision I’ve made since being here! Whether you’re a top level athlete or a complete beginner to the sport, you will be welcomed equally into the family of 53 sports. Please feel free to come and have a chat at any time about sports or any wellbeing issues/questions you may have.

VICE PRESIDENT VOLUNTEERING & DEVELOPMENT Happnin’ troops! I’m Liam McCabe, your VP Volunteering & Development! I’m a postgraduate politics student and I believe passionately that student unions are a powerful force for good. Whether you want to do a bit of CV building to make you more employable, or run a big campaign to change our Union, University or community we exist to make sure you have access to everything you need to achieve whatever you put your mind to whilst at Strathclyde. I have gained so much from my time in student unions and I want to make sure that USSA affords you all of those same opportunities to help you achieve whatever it is you want to do while you’re at Strathclyde. Whether it’s community volunteering, clubs & societies, ethics and environmentalism or creating new events and general goings-on, my job is to ensure that you have a huge variety of options to choose from and that everyone gets equal access to them. It’s going to be a busy year, but I’m looking forward to working with all of you to make our Union bigger, better and a place that all Strathclyde students feel like they can call home! Liam McCabe VP Volunteering & Development ussa.vpvd@strath.ac.uk 0141 567 5056 @Limeroo
VICE PRESIDENT DIVERSITY I am your officer for everything equality, diversity and liberation! I ensure the fair treatment and represent the interests of students who are BME, women, LGBT+, disabled, international, mature, and of any faith or none. It is my job to deal with any barriers to equality and work towards a liberated institution. Talk to me if you see or experience any issues regarding equality and diversity and I will ensure action will be taken. This year I would like to focus on: •
•
•
The attainment gap. I want to make sure that every student, no matter who they are, has the same experience in academia. Championing our diversity in every aspect of our work by ensuring the implementation of our equal opportunities policy. Liberation in leadership - working to liberate and diversify our Union by encouraging everyone to take part in student politics, to break through old traditions and ideas.
Simran Kaur VP Diversity
VICE PRESIDENT EDUCATION Any issues related to the quality of your education or your class representation, I’m your officer. If you believe your department does not deliver your course up to university standards, or the government is voting on a damaging education bill, it is my job to make sure that your grievance is heard, to speak up and campaign on the issue, and to put any possible countermeasures in place to ensure that your education experience is as good as it can be. This year I would like to focus on: •
•
•
Developing our class reps, providing more accessible ways for your voice to be heard, and bringing our student rep communications into the 21st century. Expanding the Library e-book offerings to cover recommended textbooks in as many courses as possible. Ensuring that students can spend time on their course rather than worrying about their finances, welfare and wellbeing.

Students shaping the future NUS Scotland represents around 500,000 students in Scotland through our member college and university students’ associations - your students’ union. We work to promote, defend and extend the rights of students. Scotland’s students have become more politically engaged in recent years than ever before and we are working with our members across the country to create positive changes for students now and in the future. Scotland’s student movement has made significant achievements in the past few years. We have proved that by working in partnership, we can make student voices heard. Together we have: • Campaigned for free education to be maintained in Scotland. • Worked as part of the Commission on Widening Access to advise the Scottish Government on progress to ensure more people from the poorest backgrounds get into university. • Campaigned to reverse £127 million worth of planned budget cuts to colleges.
• Helped save Asylum and Refugee Officer and University of Strathclyde student Lord Apetsi from deportation with our #SaveLord campaign. • Campaigned for a right to FE support, fairer HE support and improved mental health support during the Scottish elections, resulting in the Scottish Government committing to a full review. Our previous campaigns to end apartheid, bring in votes at 16 and 17 and our fight for LGBT+ rights also show how the student movement has the power to change lives. We couldn’t have achieved these fantastic wins without the help of students and their students’ associations. Getting involved in Strathclyde Students’ Association is a great way to meet new people, try out new activities and help to make positive changes for students at your university.

Education & Representation The Union is here to represent all students studying at Strathclyde in order to enhance the quality of your education and ensure that your academic experience here is the best it can be. The remit of the Vice President Education includes: • • • •
YOUR STUDENT REPS We want all students to feel empowered to continuously improve and develop the quality of their own education. To do this we encourage you to consider becoming a volunteer student rep and become part of the discussion on academic matters and the facilities that the University provides for you during your studies.
Providing guidance to students on academic matters whenever needed. Keeping up to date with academic and government policy regarding matters of education through external and internal research. Setting the policy of the Students’ Association on academic matters as directed by our membership through the Education Forum/Student Parliament. Overseeing the organisation of education related campaigns and events to ensure that the voice of students is well heard. … and much more.
CLASS REPS are elected by their fellow students at the start of each semester. These students engage with their lecturers on behalf of their class to raise issues or provide suggestions relating to their course. Class reps are encouraged to keep in contact with one another and collectively ensure that their voice is heard and it is The Union’s job to facilitate this. Class reps are also uniquely positioned to influence Union policy on matters of education through participation in the Education Forum www.strathstudents.com FACULTY REPS are similar to class reps, except their scope of student representation extends to faculty level. Faculty reps are the first point of contact for class reps should they encounter any difficulties while representing students and they liaise very closely with The Union and The University to address any issues or concerns. They are elected once a year in March during the Students’ Association Executive Team elections. If you wish to find out who your faculty reps are, visit www.strathstudents.com/facultyreps/whoarethey
Your VP Education Bohdan Starosta is your representative tasked with lobbying the University on all academic matters that affect Strathclyde students. Contact Bohdan: ussa.vpe@strath.ac.uk 08

STUDENT REP CONGRESS Once a year the Students Association in partnership with The University hold a Student Rep Congress to engage the student reps in a discussion about the direction in which our education should be shaped. The event is accompanied by an opportunity to engage with Strathclyde’s academic management and develop shared ideas for the continuous development of education here at Strathclyde. All reps and students are encouraged to participate and, as an added bonus, your attendance will count towards your volunteer hours which you can then log on The Union website. Student rep congress will take place on Wednesday 3rd February. If you are interested in more details, visit: www.strathstudents.com/Congress16
TEA ANYONE? The Teaching Excellence Awards are a celebration of all the lecturers who make your university experience extra special. With their enthusiasm, support and innovative methods, lecturers can inspire and motivate students to reach their potential. Their fresh teaching methods enhance the learning experience. This is your chance to say thank you. Nominating doesn’t take long, but means a lot to those who receive your nomination. Keep an eye out for nominations opening in October. www.strathstudents.com/tea

Diversity At USSA we aim to empower students who self-define as belonging to one or more of the Liberation, Representation & Faith groups to counter the current and historical discriminatory experiences they may face. We bring together people who experience, identify with or are educationally interested in a particular oppression or discrimination in order to detect changes they believe need to be made at Strathclyde. This ensures a better student experience for themselves and future students.
OUR EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES POLICY USSA is committed to equal opportunities for all individuals who use USSA services and access its premises. By taking a proactive approach to equality, we support and encourage underrepresented groups by promoting an enjoyable, comfortable, inclusive and diverse culture which enhances the student experience. The full policy is online and you can also see a copy as you come and go every day in the building on a giant poster because that’s how important it is to us. www.strathstudents.com/equalopps

LGBT+ Coming to university can be a daunting and uncertain time for many students, especially those who find it difficult to be open about issues surrounding their sexuality, romantic orientation or gender identity. The LGBT+ group (including but not limited to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) exists to provide support for students who self-define on the LGBT+ spectrum, including queer, questioning, intersex and asexual students. The group seeks to provide a safe, welcoming environment and provides many opportunities to get involved with campaigns and learn more about the issues facing LGBT+ people in today’s society. LGBT+ Officer - Anthony Cresswell ussa.lgbt@strath.ac.uk

All of the current committee have found being a member a rewarding experience where we have improved our knowledge and made some great and supportive friends.

Volunteering & Development WHAT DOES VOLUNTEERING DO FOR ME? Volunteering at USSA is an easy way to develop your personal skills while meeting new people, enhancing your Strathy experience and benefiting your community; whether that is our student community on campus or the community of Glasgow and beyond. Our volunteers do huge amounts of good and we are always seeking to find new ways to help you get involved, have fun and at the end of your degree give you great experience for your future. Volunteering is fun & rewarding, you’ll meet loads of new people and forge lifelong friendships, and you can find all this on your doorstep here at The Union! HOW DO I GET STARTED? At USSA we strive to make everything we do accessible because getting involved should never be a struggle. There are more ways than ever to participate in The Union and the number of opportunities continue to grow: • • •
• •
We have over 160 societies to choose from at www.strathstudents.com/GetInvolved/Clubs If you want to start a brand new club it’s really simple & our staff on level 7 can help you with this. We have several media teams including; The Strathclyde Telegraph, our radio station Strathclyde Fusion, Strath TV, literary magazine the Quotidian and The Gist our science and tech magazine! Represent your peers as a Student Rep, change your course for the better and accessing training and opportunities. Volunteering opportunities in a wide range of places and organisations, within The Union and in the wider community, doing a host of different activities! www.strathstudents.com/VolunteerHub
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT Our Community Engagement opportunities give you the chance to take on new challenges and engage with communities outside the University campus. You can get involved in various projects such as: mentoring and tutoring school pupils;
helping people with disabilities gain independence through befriending; volunteering in charity shops; carrying out conservation activities to improve local woodlands and many more. The opportunities on offer are diverse, wide ranging and constantly increasing. Volunteer Gatherings take place monthly to provide new volunteers with an introduction into student volunteering and a space for current volunteers to share ideas and best practice. It’s also a great was to make friends with people who share similar interests! Getting involved in Community Engagement activities can help you feel empowered due to your contribution to society, enhance your sense of civic responsibility and inclusion whilst improving your overall university experience. Discover how you can get involved at www.strathstudents.com/nowrecruiting
We have put together an engaging set of skills workshops for Strathclyde students, which are absolutely free for you to attend! The STRATHCLYDE VOLUNTEER DEVELOPMENT programme is designed for students who are keen to make the most of their experiences, develop their skills and ensure these are applied in the best possible way to maximise their employability. Some workshops we have run in the past include: body language, self-management and negotiation. Look out for details of these on our website during Semester 1!
For matters concerning Volunteering & Development matters get in touch with your VP Volunteering & Development Liam McCabe 30
ussa.vpvd@strath.ac.uk
@Limeroo
The VOLUNTEER AWARDS are the centrepiece in the student activities calendar! This glitzy ceremony recognises our students’ volunteering achievements and exceptional contributions made towards The Union by individuals or groups. At USSA we understand that your volunteering is extremely important and beneficial both to you and society and as such, we recognise this with our Volunteer Hour Certificates. The requisite volunteer hours can be acquired through clubs & societies, sports teams, class reps or general volunteering within USSA. The key is to log your volunteer hours on our website as you do them - I know sometimes this doesn’t always happen but it’s easier for you in the long run!
31
Being involved in a club or society can be a huge part of your university life. It can add to your experience at university and allow you to meet other students or volunteers that you might not have encountered elsewhere. Last year, the total of clubs & societies affiliated to USSA reached its highest ever level, at 165. This year, we hope that this will further increase with the help of you - the students. At the moment we have six different categories for clubs & societies: • • • • • •
Course Related Political & Activism Community Hobbies & Interests Faith & Culture Media, Arts & Music
If you read through the list of clubs & societies we have and don’t find anything that suits you - then make your own! It’s really simple. Just pop up to Level 7 and there will be numerous people who can help you out.
32
Realise your potential and make an impact through Alumni Fund support. The Alumni Fund receives donations from Strathclyde Alumni. The funds are then disbursed to help students, student projects or clubs & societies. The Alumni Fund support has an impact on all students at the university - whether they are aware of it or not!
Over the last 10 years, in excess of ÂŁ2million has been disbursed to help students. The Alumni Fund supports 3 main areas:
1. Undergraduate Scholarship
Programme: To support less advantaged students by removing the financial barriers of studying at university.
2. The Wider Student Experience:
To support various student-led projects or clubs & societies. This enables students to get the best experience of Strathclyde.
3. Teaching & Learning Experiences:
To provide funding for the library, study abroad scholarships and international learning experiences. In 2016/17 the Alumni Fund disbursed over ÂŁ290,000 to help make the experience of studying at Strathclyde more rewarding. Student groups can apply for funding in February of each year. For more information or details of how to apply, check the Alumni Fund website at www.strath.ac.uk/alumnifund You can also apply for a position as Telethon Caller every Spring and Autumn and be at the fore-front of raising funds for these important projects. 33

Shelter
You’ll see me around campus talking to students and knocking on doors in halls to see if you are doing alright. This year we are working toward creating a Union Support committee which will ensure that all aspects of student support from mental health, wellbeing, financial support, childcare, Halls of Residence, and housing are represented. There will be positions available for students to run for in the October by-elections. If you’re interested in student welfare and campaigns, I’m excited to have you on the team. Student life can be tough when you’re worrying about housing, residency, mental health, finances, or studies. I work to make sure that help is here when you need it. If you have any issues, ideas, or are unsure about anything, just communicate it to us. I’m very approachable, and if you see me on campus, don’t be afraid to say hello. You can also contact me with my details below.

It is a phone, text and online listening service which is available during term time Monday to Friday, 7pm - 7am. Nightline allows students to talk to someone anonymously about their problems, whether those are university problems, relationship/family problems or anything else that may be worrying you. Sometimes talking to someone who will simply listen can take the weight off your mind. The service is non-judgemental and completely confidential. ‘Nightliners’ will help you discuss your thoughts and options, rather than impose their opinion on you or tell you what to do. Nightline also provides you with a practical information service, whether you are looking for a taxi number, exam timetables, cinema times, or even a bit of trivia - particularly if you are convinced you are on the winning side of a bet for a quiz question! VOLUNTEER FOR NIGHTLINE! Nightline is run by student volunteers and is an extremely rewarding experience Be part of a listening and support service which is non-judgmental, confidential, anonymous, supportive and committed. Nightliners receive full training which equips them with vital listening, empathetic and confidentiality skills.

Enjoy student discounts • Get your NUS Extra now!
On average, students save over £500 a year by using their NUS extra card and you can now buy them for 1, 2 or 3 years. Get discounts from the UK’s number 1 student lifestyle and discount card provider on top brands such as an extra 5% off when you join Amazon student, up to 40% off at Pizza Express, and 10% off at the Co-operative Food. Only £12 for a year. NUS Extra card = more party money! For a full list of discounts and to buy your card visit www.nus.org.uk/en/nus-extra/discounts
Never buy pens again! • Get a year’s supply of free pens!
It’s a new year, and a new you. It can be tempting to buy a whole set of new stationary. Don’t! At least not until you get to the Freshers’ Fair. Both Freshers’ Fairs offer different stalls, and different free stuff, and there may even be free pizza! Freshers’ Fairs = free pens = more party money! Cost: Waking up early (possibly still tired/hungover/drunk) after Cascada at the opening of #12tuesdays, repeat on Thursday
Did you get the memo? • The Freshers’ Manual
Read your welcome emails. They contain tonnes of valuable information! Read emails = less stress = more fun
Reinvent yourself • Make loads of new friends!
With students from all corners of the globe, everyone feels nervous, everyone wants to make new friends. Just say hello! Hello = new friends = new you. Cost: “hello”
Enjoy home cooked food! • Buy a recipe book!
A few days in and you’ll be missing mum’s cooking, and living on beans on toast, or getting some recipe ideas of the web. A rookie mistake would be to buy a whole kitchen with your SAAS. Hone your skills early and get a beginner’s cookbook. It might even help you make new friends, not burn down the kitchen, or save some money! Recipe book = more party money! Cost £8-£12
A sandwich... Exactly the way you want it! • Plan meals in advance!
If you’re not like the beans on toast guy above and on a first name basis with the pizza delivery guy. Your SAAS is “magically” disappearing. Cook meals in advance, reheat them during the week, and even save some money. Meal planning = more party money! Cost: Waking up early once a week to cook
Free software! • Get all the programs you need
Don’t buy software. The University gives out free licences for software like office 365, Minitab, etc. If you need a specific software which isn’t listed, please inform IT services at the library so they can help
Best deals for you • Get the best deals
Research competitors for Bank accounts, broadband/TV, insurance etc. You’ll thank us later.
If you’re unsure, ask a Welcome Teamer.
They may not know the answer, but they will find someone who does! 37
