Keeping up with SRUCSA April 2022
April came and went in a flash, it’s lovely to see things coming back to life, the flowers, plants and trees and our campuses. Have you been back on campus...
Keeping up with SRUCSA March 2022
Wow! March was much more busy than we expected. It absolutely flew by. It felt like our feet did not touch the floor. The big highlight was the SRUCSA Elections. The most important event in our calendar. This year we had several big successes – More nominees than ever before, five nominees for a one position and the second the greatest number of students ever taking part in voting. The number one turnout position is still the year the merger colleges combined to form SRUCSA. So, our student body successfully chose their leaders for the 22/23 year, and we are excited to work with Claire, Liam, and Roz.

Keeping up with SRUCSA November 2021
Online has its place, but being face-to-face is something else. Being in the same room as someone allows for informal chats, updates, and opportunities to support students directly.
Disability and Me – International Day of Persons with Disabilities

Keeping up with SRUCSA September 2021
September is when it all happens – we get to welcome back returning students and show the newbies what it is all about. We kept up to date with the EIS/SRUC dispute SRUCSA has an ongoing training plan for this year, so we had lots of that too.
Keeping up with SRUCSA August 2021
August is a time planning and preparation for the start of term. We are super excited to have student back studying soon and can't wait to meet you all.
What is disability?
In August 1983, I was almost five years old, and I started school, but unlike my classmates I could not write my own name. I could not write it due to a learning disability called dyspraxia. This meant coordinating the pencil was impossible for me.
