We work to support students through three broad categories: Representation, Activities and Spaces. We support students through their studies, share opportunities, and help them celebrate their achievements. We are not-for-profit: any income we generate from our commercial services goes straight back into funding student services. We’re accountable to our members: which means we’re constantly looking to help students better understand what we do, and how we spend our money. OUR MISSION: - To be the centre of student life at St Andrews, providing the representation, services and support needed by students to ensure the highest quality student experience possible. OUR VALUES: - Students First - in everything we do, members are our most important focus. - Inclusive - everyone will be treated equally by the Union and its staff. - Welcoming - everyone should feel welcomed in every interaction with the Union.
