CUSU LBGT Awareness Week
The main event of the LBGT calendar in Cambridge, Awareness Week will run from Saturday 30th January - Sunday 8th February.
We have an exciting line-up, which is packed full of amazing events including talks on Islam and homosexuality, LBGT history month, asexuality and being gay in the workplace. Speakers include Pav Akhtar, who became the first non-white CUSU President and one of the editors of Diva magazine. We have speakers coming from places ranging from the Church of England to Google! Alongside that, we have speed dating, a radio show and our popular Pre-Rendezvous party.
The idea behind the week is to increase awareness of LBGT issues amongst all Cambridge students. It's a chance for everyone to celebrate diversity, meet new people, and just have fun! For more information see the Facebook Group.
CUSU joins 10:10
This year, thousands of individuals and organisations are uniting behind one simple idea: that together we can take the first step to solve climate change.
Following Council mandate, CUSU has signed up to 10:10, a national initiative pledging to reduce 10% of our carbon emissions by 2010. This is a bold but achievable goal, and is in line of what we need to prevent catastrophic climate change.
With this motion, CUSU shows its continued support for initiatives against climate change, and will promote and explain this campaign for students to support it as individuals.
