Ellen MacRae, President Q: Jeremy Pestle, Activities Representative for Media and Broadcasting (he/him): I appreciate the support the Students’ Association gave to the petition calling for the renaming of what is now 40 George Square. However there was some pushback, particularly along the lines that this Council was not consulted in advance of the decision being taken. For accountability purposes to this Council, can we have a justification for why we weren’t consulted before executive action was used? (and my pronouns are He/Him!) A: Thank you for that. So when it came to supporting this petition it was obviously out of our regular term time so we weren’t able to call Student Council, so as Association Executive the Association Sabbatical Officers made an executive decision to support this petition. It's not that there wasn't any soon consultation: in our previous Black and Minority Ethnic thematic reviews, in which we discussed with students about the changes needed to university, the renaming of buildings and consolidating the way in which we celebrate our alumni was the main theme within these. So, there has been consultation but specifically to answer Jeremy's question, we wanted to actually be able to support the petition when it first formed, so that is that is the reason why we weren’t able to consult with this Council. Q: Sophia Constantinou, School of Chemistry UG Representative (she/her): Could you tell us how likely it is that the shuttle bus will be reinstated? What steps would you recommend I take as a school rep to ensure it is reinstated? Edinburgh University Students' Association is a charity (SC015800) and a company limited by guarantee (SC429897) registered in Scotland. Registered Office: Potterrow, 5/2 Bristo Square, Edinburgh, EH8 9AL A: So, Lothian Buses didn't have the capacity to run the service specifically this semester, but the university is very much aware that support for the bus is a Student Council motion and that the Students’ Association’s position on the buses is that we are very much in support of maintaining it. We already have this motion but when there is more capacity to do so I'm sure that will be in touch with Reps as well to support us in kind of getting this message across to the University that it's still very much a service that students need and want. Rachel Irwin, VP Activities and Services Q: Jeremy Pestle, Activities Representative for Media and Broadcasting (he/him): I’m an RA and during Welcome Week the team really struggled with connecting our new students to our online events and I’m concerned that many societies may be having the same problem. Do you have data on how well attended the online Activities Fair this year was and what further support can the Activities team offer societies struggling to get new members? A: I really appreciate the challenges that our RAs societies are facing with building communities online and in terms of Engagement. We will have stats on engagement and I'm pretty sure we will be able to get those figures later. Obviously, the footfall was a lot less than normal, but we have had really positive feedback in terms of accessibility for student parents and carers who have got different schedules. We are really happy with the live chat feature which has enabled our Societies to connect one-on-one with new students which was really fantastic. And in terms of further support the activities team can offer societies: I'm really hoping to make the most of our activities and societies this year using online Town Hall style events and one-to-one drop-ins with those so we can really kind of join up the dots and kind of allow Society office-bearers to feel like they have a kind of hotlines to me and to them, which I think will be helpful in supporting them and helping them get more members. Rachel Irwin, VP Activities and Services, later posted the following information in the chat: For those interested, here is the data we have so far on the Virtual Activities Fair (currently only for the first two days, more to come soon): Tuesday 15th September Unique Page Visits, combined number of all stalls = 7949 Total page views, combined number of all stalls = 10412 Total Live chats = 1917 Wednesday 16th September Unique Page Visits, combined number of all stalls = 5387 Total page views, combined number of all stalls = 7487 Total Live chats = 1410 Q: Abdullah Ursani (He/him): Could you please elaborate on how the Good Food campaign is going to be implemented further or improved? What kind of discussions have been taking place? A: Yes, I’m happy to elaborate on the Good Food campaign. So, this is something that Amanda, the VP Community, and I have kind of jointly focused on in our manifestos and we will be working with both Accommodation, Catering and Events at the University as well as within our own Trading Ops teams. We're hoping to focus on ensuring our food and products are sustainable, local, and packaged in eco- friendly ways, and basically raising awareness about things like the food miles for our products. So hopefully that will shape up over the coming weeks and I'll be happy to feed back via social media and other platforms. Edinburgh University Students' Association is a charity (SC015800) and a company limited by guarantee (SC429897) registered in Scotland. Registered Office: Potterrow, 5/2 Bristo Square, Edinburgh, EH8 9AL Amanda Scully, VP Community Q: Jeremy Pestle, Activities Representative for Media and Broadcasting (he/him): The discontinuation (for this semester at least) of the Kings shuttle bus owing to the Coronavirus pandemic has the potential to cause significant disruption not only to students but also to the local community who depend on local bus routes. While admittedly the pandemic has meant that buses aren’t running to capacity at the moment, what work will yourself and the team carry out to ensure, on a long term basis, that sufficient public transport capacity is in place for both students and the wider community once the pandemic comes to a close? A: Thanks for this question, you’ve made some really good points. There has been significant disruption to transport this year, and it was a problem before COVID. It’s something I want to pick up before the end of the year. One thing we have seen during COVID, though, is a significant cycle route improvement across the city as well as between campuses. I want to make sure this is something we keep after COVID. The affordability of public transport is a really important issue, and we need to recognise that it is a significant ask for students to use bus services to get to and from class, and we need to keep it accessible for them. We need to engage the University in any way that we can, and get involved in the long term strategy. We also need to influence Edinburgh Council and see what we can do to collect Students’ concerns with transport and to lobby the government and the council to increase capacity and create easier and more affordable routes for students. Really welcome your views on transport in general in the future as well. Q: Pippa Gosden, Business School UG Representative (she/her): I was just wondering what the timeline is for the social villages (I think that's what they're called and just any other information you have on them. A: Yes, they’re called student villages. They should be opening up within the next couple of weeks, I think most of them are timelined for early October. There is the one in Bristo Square. These are supposed to be spaces basically that will have coffee provision within them and WiFi, so you can have somewhere to sit and relax. It will be following COVID government guidance as well so it will be done safely and socially distanced. They are just basically a way to make sure that students have space on campus.

  • Scotland's New Year Festival
    SCOTLAND’S NEW YEAR FESTIVAL FOREWORD A very warm welcome to you in our third year of producing Edinburgh’s Hogmanay, as we invite you to BE TOGETHER this Hogmanay. Now more than ever is the time to celebrate ‘togetherness’ and what better way than surrounded by people from all over the world at New Year? From performers to audiences, this festival is about coming together, being together, sharing experiences together and sharing the start of a new year arm in arm and side by side. BE ready to party from the 30th December as we return with a programme of events at the magnificent McEwan Hall. From the return of hit clubbing experience Symphonic Ibiza on 30th December featuring Ibiza DJs and a live orchestra, to the first party in 2020 celebrating the new year along with the Southern Hemisphere at G’Day 2020 with Kylie Auldist on 31 December. Jazz legends Ronnie Scott’s Big Band will play a gala concert on 31st December to give an alternative lead up to the bells and renowned DJ Judge Jules will spin into the wee small hours at our first ever Official After-Party. BE a trailblazer at the Torchlight Procession in partnership with VisitScotland. The historic event culminates in Holyrood Park as torchbearers create a symbol to share with the world: this year two figures holding hands - both residents and visitors to Scotland opening their door to the world and saying BE together. BE in the thick of it at the world famous Street Party hosted by Johnnie Walker, with a brilliantly eclectic programme of music, street theatre and spectacle.

It focuses on the Edinburgh Medical Society, School of Language, founded in 1731 by Alexander Monro primus; and on the student Medical Literature, Music and Visual Society, founded in 1734 and constituted in 1737 as the Medical Society Culture of Edinburgh, ultimately becoming the Royal Medical Society of Edinburgh University of Aberdeen in 1778. The paper examines how Monro, as editor of the transactions of the Edinburgh King’s College Medical Society, sought to adapt medical learning to a world of polite sociability; and how Aberdeen AB24 3UB that world came under pressure in the student Medical Society, where prevailing orthodoxies, UK such as the system of Herman Boerhaave and, later, William Cullen, were challenged.
