[…]sure that they can access that help if they do reach out and that they’re not left struggling on the bottom of a waiting list. “But we do want to emphasis to students that even though counselling services are under-resourced and sometimes there are waiting lists, campus counselling services will set aside emergency appointments for students who are in urgent need for support. So don’t let waiting lists be a barrier to seeking help.” Supports available to students: Text Hello to 50808 – a free and anonymous text support service, available 24/7 Contact your college counselling service or Students’ Union Welfare […]

The goal is to put the creative minds of the island’s postgraduate research community to work to produce a short video presentation about your research, and why it matters.

USI believes in freedom of speech – and chooses to exercise that right in the service of valuing all our members, […]

[…]not acceptable and isn’t something USI could ignore. We’re delighted that the reaction to the article was so effective that College Times was forced to remove the article from their website. In commentary to newspapers today, Joe O’Connor, USI President, gave the following statement: “The article was crass and insensitive in the extreme and will have been read by many as misogynistic, predatory nonsense. USI wholeheartedly condemns the article and we’re delighted that so many student activists and friends put the effort in to showing this up for the dismal attempt at edginess it is. It’s unfortunate that this appears […]
