Hi, I'm Gurjit Singh, President of NUS Scotland. For my first blog I thought I'd ‘KISS’ (keep it simple, stupid!) So, here are some key things to help you get to know me…

I am 23 years of age and live in Glasgow.

I believe in free education.

I believe in equality and life without fear or harassment.

I am against violence and war.

I am Indian, English, Scottish and sort of a Sikh! But I don't like categories and ticking boxes - it's all about the philosophy!

I live at home with my family – I can't afford to live anywhere else.

I enjoy meeting new people and being around my friends.

I am not a huge fan of party politics and am therefore not a member of any political party – I am a rarity, I am an independent!

I have my beliefs, I stand by them, but I don't force them upon others.

I believe NUS Scotland is the best nation in NUS UK (obviously). I reckon it must be the haggis!

I think that change is a good thing - everyone can make a difference if they really want to.

I want students to believe that nothing is impossible.

I like helping people, I like long walks on the beach, I like dogs and I don’t like cats. But I do love cake!

I look forward to working in NUS and to having a positive impact on the lives of students.

Finally, I promise to keep you up to date on the work of NUS Scotland over the coming year and if you have any queries do not hesitate to drop me an email.

I would like to wish everyone the very best for the coming year. It is going to be exciting, interesting and challenging - So bring it on!
