'Get involved'

9 April 2015

At Glasgow University, we got a list of all the people who ticked the box on the application form to 'get involved' over the last year and send them a letter.

The letter was adapted from the 'build the union' letter and I personalised them a bit depending on what job the person was doing in their department.

After I sent out the emails, 15 folk came back to me agreeing to be contacts. I will be meeting with most of them over the next couple of weeks to discuss the role and give them application forms, posters etc. The heartening thing about this is that most came from subjects like Maths and Physics and not so many from our typical arts and humanities demographic.
