STEER is a University-wide peer support scheme linking in returning student 'Captains' with new undergraduate or taught post-graduate student 'Crew' during their first or second year at Stirling. The scheme aims to help new students settle in by signposting to the relevant resources and making them aware of the opportunities available. One of the most valuable sources of support students have is each other. Signing up as Crew opens you up to the wealth of knowledge returning students have gained during their first years at University. Students can sign up as Crew at any time during their first year or second year. There are also occasions where we accept Crew from higher years if students feel that they would greatly benefit from this level of support. If this is you and you are in second year or above, please contact us, and we will allocate a Captain to you in the same way. All Captains are volunteers who are recruited, trained and supported by the Students' Union. In fact, many Captains were once Crew themselves. To find how to be matched up with a STEER captain,
