Student Focused Meeting It’s time for this years’ Student Focused Meeting and this year we have decided to make it a purely social event, so if you sign up expecting to come to a weekend of lively, informative debate you will be sorely disappointed… The plan is to all congregate in Included in the price is your travel and accommodation, some outdoor activities and some food. Wow! What more could you ask for? Well, depending on how you feel on Saturday night we can all jump in the minibus and go dancing, pull on our tweed and go to the local pub or get back to our Neanderthal roots, get naked (optional) and make a campfire… It should all be an awesome weekend of getting back to nature and getting to know your fellow GLADD students.

As well as receiving information about student meetings, you're welcome at all GLADD meetings, taking place both locally and nationally. These are a mixture of informative meetings with speakers and discussion, and also social events. All of these events are advertised via the e-mail list that you will gain access to when you join. Some of the people who come along are very comfortable about their sexuality and are very "out", whereas some are perhaps confronting some of these issues for the first time. We try to ensure that GLADD is always a welcoming & safe environment for its LGBT members. Some Universities are fortunate to have strong LGBT groups, whereas others don't or are in areas where there is little LGBT provision, which can leave students feeling isolated. One of the benefits of GLADD is bringing students together from all over the country to share experiences. We’re a friendly bunch and it’s good to have a network of friends who are aware of the difficulties that some LGBT students have to face. If you're thinking about joining GLADD (cheap as chips for students!) but would like some more information, please do get in touch & we'll do our best to answer any questions you may have. You can join on this website.
