Interested in becoming an advocate for the service?
Staff Links are advocates and supporters of our mission to bring Student listeners to every student in the University who may benefit from the service.
They help us by promoting our service across the college, school or department they are based in.
This is a growing network of committed and supportive colleagues. We currently have staff links across all Schools and Colleges at the University of Glasgow. However as we know the University is a vast organisation and so we are always keen to welcome more staff links on board.
