[email protected] 01382 386013 WELCOME FROM THE CHAIR OF THE DUSA BOARD OF TRUSTEES Hello and welcome to the 2015/16 Report and Financial Statements for Dundee University Students’ Association (DUSA). We have had a busy year here at DUSA, with numerous signifcant events happening across the country, as well as several substantial changes taking place within our own institution. Throughout 2015/16 the DUSA Executive, our team of elected student ofcers, co-ordinated a number of impactful campaigns in response to the needs of our student body. This year saw a seismic shift in the level of political activity happening throughout the UK, but particularly within Scotland, which instigated the launch of our ‘Neverendum’ campaign – a series of events held throughout the year in response to topical political issues such as the EU Debate, the Leaders’ Debate, and more. A great deal of strength and progress can also be seen through our work on issues surrounding student welfare, such as our ‘Minds Matter’ campaign which, with the assistance of the DUSA Mental Health Society, ran to improve awareness of mental health issues within the student body. Alongside this, we continued to promote sexual health in an open and responsive manner through our ‘Sex, Let’s Talk About It’ campaign, and saw our frst ever LGBT+ History Month campaign in collaboration with the Dundee University LGBT+ Society.
