Housing
- Pilot housing committees for a limited number of campus-based accommodation, who would take the lead organising inter-housing competitions, socials and trips.
- Commission a Housing Report in preparation for September 2018.

- Explore our relationship with Stirling Council, and what more can be done to secure a sustainable, long-term housing strategy for our university.
Clubs and Societies:
- Expand our equipment storage to safely and efficiently meet future need.
- Advocate for funding and financial transparency within the Union - it's your money, you should clearly know where it goes and how it's spent.
- Promote home-grown talent with the CONNECT programme, an initiative that would see subject-based Clubs and Societies develop concrete links with their respective department through their Faculty Officers.
- Grow opportunities for our Media Societies. Push for the University to hire internally, spread the industry experience and provide Brig, Air3 and AirTV with those chances to shine.
- Create 'VP Tea', regular weekly lunch chats with Club & Society Presidents, aimed at increasing your accessibility to your Sabb. With free biscuits.
'The City Next Door':

Employability:
- Encourage participation and engagement with our stellar Careers Employability Service.
- Promote our Student Support Services, and explore further ways the Union can collaborate to safeguard student wellbeing. Healthy and happy students are productive, engaged and achieving students.
- Enhance links with third-sector charities and employers, for internships and work experience.
