Series 4, Episode 2 - Diversity and difference key to shaping student support

In this Scotland’s Future Series podcast three of St Andrews’ student leaders talk about how their different backgrounds, experiences and views have helped shape and strengthen how they ensure effective student representation. Students’ Association President Barry Will, Director of Education Cam Brown, and Director of Wellbeing and Equality Caitlin Ridgway talk to Professor Stephen Gethins about the importance of working together to make sure student voices are heard and that every student no matter their background or beliefs feels supported and listened to. Coming into post on the back of the Covid pandemic has posed particular challenges for the current ‘Sabbs’ and in this recording, they discuss how they have come together as a group of six not only to lead the students’ representative body but also to make a real and lasting difference to the student experience in St Andrews. Barry, who focussed on student poverty in his presidential campaign, grew up in Dundee where he saw first-hand the “raw side of inequality” and, as the first member of his family to attend university, could not rely on any academic support at home. Cam, on the other hand, travelled the world with his family and had attended another university before joining St Andrews. Caitlin said her background growing up in one place and then moving to another, has helped her in her role championing health, diversity and inclusion. All three agree that no matter what your background or financial status, “every single person in this community should feel supported”. Amongst the subjects discussed is the review of the Academic Calendar which Cam has been heavily involved in, plus the challenges of supporting all St Andrews students affected by Russia’s war in Ukraine and the conflict in Israel and Gaza. Barry said supporting students is at the heart of everything they do and this is why it is so important that the group work together using their different experiences and sharing their views to ensure they can provide the right kind of support to those affected. While they may each hold different views, it is this ability to work through their disagreements to ensure everyone in the St Andrews student community is supported and listened to.

Series 4, Episode 1 – Supporting care experienced and estranged students at St Andrews

In this podcast, the first in a series of conversations about the importance of widening access and understanding more about the barriers some people face in accessing education, including Higher Education, Scotland’s Future Series looks at some of the challenges faced by students from a care-experienced background. During the conversation we hear more about the important role university can play not only in providing an education and qualifications but also in providing, for some, vital stability and support. The guests also share some startling statistics on the life chances of young people who have been through the care system and the impact this has on their self-confidence and how they view themselves in society.
