The SU Strategy – 2024 – 2027
Our purpose
As a registered charity we have clear aims:
- To promote the interests and welfare of our students here at UoG
- To be the representative body of our students here at UoG
- To provide activities and opportunities for our students here at UoG
Our core purpose is to fulfil these objectives and all the work we do will be seen to link back to them at all times. Whilst there is always a huge amount that UoGSU should be doing we need to ensure we’re focused and delivering our core purposes for our members.
University Life: Unlocked
At UoGSU we unlock opportunities. With us, unlock friendships and memories that will last a lifetime. Unlock the power of your voice across the student body: the power of an amazing team, an important cause, a shared celebration.
UoGSU exists to help students unlock the doors to a uniquely personal and memorable university life. With all the support and resources, you need to bring down the barriers wherever they’re keeping you out, we help students to overcome their challenges and have the kind of fun that stays with them forever.
Our values remain important
Inclusive – We advocate for equity. Everyone is welcome at UoG, and we’ve got your back— regardless of your background or identity.
Democratic – We empower our members to be decision makers. We’re student-led, with student needs at our very centre, shaping the work we do.
Sustainable – We prioritise decisions that contribute positively to environmental, social and economic sustainability, for the benefit of our members, our stakeholders and the wider community. We acknowledge the interconnectedness between decisions we make and our impact on the world around us.
Courageous – We recognise that change is often a good thing. We’re willing to make brave decisions and work with our members to do things differently and we’re always honest about our limitations.
We have a vibrant three year plan with three overaching aims:
The Core Role of the SU
Developing Student Communities
Being a Critical Partner
