WELCOME

A re you looking to continuing somethingyou have been doing for years? Or doyou want to explore that hidden talent that

you don’t even know you have? Or do you

simply want a wee detour from the schedule

of “lectures-library-home”? Well done, my

friend, you’ve come to the right place!

Joining a society is not only easy but also a

fun way to leave the university with much

more than a degree. You know those

magical phrases “transferable skills” and

“boost your CV” that everyone is talking

about these days? There are almost 90 ways

to acquire these described in this booklet

alone! All of the societies are run by students

just like you. So whether you fancy going to

a conference or a workshop or want to give

back to the community and maybe even

find a great bunch of new friends along the

way? It’s all here, just keep reading.

I am Indre Urbanaviciute (don’t worry about

pronouncing that last one!) and I graduated

last year. I enjoyed my time at the University

so much that decided to stay and make sure

Over the last four years, Dundee

University Students’ Association

has orchestrated a Raising and Giving

Campaign in order to generate as much

money and awareness for a chosen charity

as possible. During this campaigning time,

societies and individuals have hosted

various events for students that helped

generate thousands of pounds for our

chosen charities. These have included Speed

Dating, Slave Auctions, Talent Shows, Dance

Marathons, Bag Packing events and of

course, the Radio Marathon Shows.

On top of this, we have plenty of groups thatoperate as a branch of a big charity and

even charities that are established here, at

the University of Dundee, and are spreading

to other universities. Getting involved in

charitable activities is easy and a very

rewarding way to spend your free time. So

whether it is an hour of help here or there

or if you want to whole-heartedly throw

yourself at making this work, then we want

to hear from you!

RAG in Dundee is just taking off . This year

we want to unify the fundraising across the

University. A lot of individuals quietly raise

funds for diff erent causes – why not help

promote them and make Dundee RAG

bigger than ever?! Together we can really

make impact on the community.

Fancy getting involved or want to hear more?

Then e-mail [email protected] or just pop into

DUSA when you pass by and we’ll sort you out.

Over the past year we have

organised a trip to Faslane to

join in the protest of the Trident

nuclear weapons as well as a trip to

Edinburgh for a tour of the Scottish

Parliament and lunch with Green
