Naomi Gillies (she/they)
Hello! I’m Naomi (she/they), a theatre and sociology student, and I would be honoured to be your next LGBTQ+ Officer! Working beside the SRC for Welcome Week this year has given me a crash course into how the SRC works, and my experience on both the GULGBT+, GUGS and Nationals (nationwide charity gaming event) committees has given me first hand experience on what it means to be part of a team. If elected, I will ensure every voice is heard, representing the interests of the queer student body by:
- Regularly communicating with LGBTQ+ students to stay informed on current concerns and raising these with LGBTQ+ staff and student associations.
- Establishing an inclusive and educational resource for LGBTQ+ students and allies so they may be more informed on LGBTQ+ identities and issues.
- Working alongside the Gender Equality Officer to ensure policies and action towards safety and inclusivity of trans and non-binary students.
- Working with the Welfare and Equality team to review the Equality and Diversity training, ensuring that it is mandatory for all staff and making it more accessible to students.
- Fundraising for LGBTQ+ Charities.
Together, let’s make UofG more inclusive!
