Maddy Watson
President, University of Strathclyde Sports Union
I'm delighted to welcome you all to the new student sport season at Strathclyde.
When I look back on my five years as a student at the University of Strathclyde, the parts I remember with most fondness were those involving sport and physical activity. The Sports Union and our member Sports Clubs provide an environment for students to lead a healthy and happy lifestyle while studying. It facilitates the creation of long lasting friendships and develops vital employability skills that compliment achievement in education.
The 62% growth in engagement with our programme over the last five years demonstrates the interest in sport across the student body and I believe that working in partnership with the Students' Union and Strathclyde Sport will enable us to deliver a bold future for sport at Strathclyde across our core themes of work - club sport, performance sport and wellbeing
