USI issue a response to Minister of State for Higher Education, Mary Mitchell O'Connor, to her visit to USI National Council on the 14th of December where she met with student representatives from across the country.
#BreakTheBarriers
On one harrowing occasion over the last few weeks promoting #BreakTheBarriers I talked to a postgrad student who was living in a van 3 days a week while studying, because he couldn't afford to rent in Cork.
The lead up to what would have been the National Demo to #BreakTheBarriers was fantastic. it is clear that students are in support of this campaign & are acutely aware of what issues need addressed in Budget 2020. In the past 2 weeks, USI has made over 75 campus visits ⚡️❌📣
Thanks to @QUBSU and @StMarysBelfast for hosting me yesterday. It was great to come along and chat through everyone's plans for the year ahead. Thanks also to @USI_Postgrad for accompanying me on my trip to Belfast. Back to Queens today for the #BelfastPride breakfast! 🎉
Your @USI_Postgrad and I are en route to Belfast where we'll be visiting our friends in @QUBSU to talk all thinks education and postgraduate engagement! Also excited to pop into our sister org @NUS_USI and for a visit to @StMarysBelfast this afternoon! Feels like coming home!
