A group of York students has won the opportunity to have their very own I-phone application developed after winning The App Challenge final, held at the Ron Cooke Hub on Wednesday, January 18.
YUSU Welfare officer Bob Hughes has warned students to be vigilant after a student loans phishing scam has been revealed.
Her Majesty the Queen will be visiting York on Maundy Thursday, 5th April, as part of the 800th anniversary of York’s Charter for the traditional “Royal Maundy” ceremony.
A flood caused by a heating system “failure” forced the university IT services to shut down many essential systems on Sunday night, causing problems for many students on the eve of their exams and assignment due-dates.
We felt that it is an important YUSU position which helps to monitor racial equality issues. Crucially, it's a position that needs to be filled to ensure the continued serious consideration of these issues.
For us, the most pressing issue will be establishing a niche for ourselves amongst the various liberation campaign organised events on campus. Beyond this, establishing, as we mentioned in our manifesto, the platform for candid and honest discussion will need to be developed from the off set to set a precedent for the rest of the year.
Because we're motivated and committed to promoting racial equality issues on campus and representing the needs and concerns of all students, regardless of race. Also, we're really friendly and easy to talk to! This is really important for Welfare, running campaigns and talking to anybody who wants to get involved.
Because racial equality isn't just about fighting racism which can often be the perception. If it were, the position would almost fall into obscurity. For us, racial equality is just as much about fighting racism as combating a lack of awareness of the issues facing people of colour at university and in the wider world. So addressing these issues, and involving ourselves in various campaigns around campus, for example, World AIDs Month, is really important to raising the overall awareness of the issues and makes a strong case for this particular position.
Through networking with the cultural societies on campus and making sure that when we advertise our committee meetings and events, that we're completely comprehensive in targeting everybody. It also means making it clear that anybody is welcome to come see us, completely regardless of race. We don't understand the concern of a student of colour to be a greater priority than that of a caucasian student.
Fish and chips.
LOL.
