The SRC (The Student Representative Collective)

 

The SRC is key to how The Glasgow School of Art Students' Association represents you - our members - at GSA. The SRC is so important to us, we can’t function without them and they can’t function without you! The SRC exists as three committees, exclusively comprising students, that help to keep this place running.

Campaigns Committee 

  • They oversee the £2,800 Liberation & Equality Fund, reviewing applications and awarding funding to student-led projects that promote liberation, equality, and social change at GSA.

  • They discuss the development of campaigning ideas within the Students’ Association.

  • They support initiatives that promote equality, tackle discrimination, champion rights, and celebrate diversity across GSASA.

  • They enable student-led liberation and equality work through projects, campaigns, exhibitions, training, workshops, and events.

 

Funding Committee 

  • They discuss and allocate the funding of £3000 per semester which the Students’ Association awards for extracurricular Student Initiated Projects. 

  • They help ensure that the Students’ Association are being fair in supporting students practice and personal development. 

  • They make amendments to funding processes to make sure these processes are as fair and practical as possible. 

  • They are a supportive group who help projects find valuable resources for their fellow students. 

 

 

Societies Committee 

  • They are the decision-making group in relation to the activities and funds of the student groups and societies at GSASA.  

  • They are a sociable group who bring people and projects together. 

  • They are a space for societies and student groups to share about their recent and upcoming activity, collaborate together, and seek a supportive environment from other students, Sabbatical Officers, or GSASA staff.  

  • They work to approve new societies, monitor and approve funding made to existing societies. 

 

Whole SRC Meetings 

 

There are at least three meetings of all three committees of the SRC this year. These are formal meetings for the President and Vice President - Education to report back to all members on their core activities in the first semester and priorities going forward, and for collective members to raise important issues pertaining to the Association and its activities. For SRC members who wish to stand for Election to the GSASA Board of Trustees, the first meeting is a chance to make your case for election to other council members, and an election of council members to the Board will take place.
