Glasgow University Union making history
GUU welcomes its first all female exec
On Thursday 8th March, the Glasgow Univeristy Union (GUU) elected its first all female exec – Ailsa Jones as President, Keri Anderson as honorary secretary and Jenna Macfarlane as assistant honorary secretary. This is the first time in the history of the union that there has been an all female exec and marks 15 years since the last female president was elected.
The GUU, established in 1885, allowed only male members until 1980.
"Thursday evening saw the GUU elect an all-female executive and we are all thrilled", Anderson said. "This is the first time in the union’s 133 year history that such a thing has happened and to be a part of this is really something special. It’s such an exciting time not only for us but for the union. We’ve had a great time working together this year that the three of us can’t wait to get going along with the rest of the new Board of Management. We’re all certain it’s going to be an absolutely phenomenal year!"
New Assistant Honorary Secretary Jenna McFarlane commented "After being on the board of management for a year, and Kerri and Ailsa for two years, we're really excited to be the first ever female executive of the GUU. This historic result is more significant than ever in the wake of the Times Up and Me Too movements, especially in a building which used to be a men's only union. As good friends, we are very excited to work together this year and continue the success of the GUU as the biggest student hub on campus and one of the best venues in the West End.
