Katy agreed to become Honorary President of the Lib Dem Uni Students Society at their AGM today. Katy has been a regular visitor to the society’s meetings and Mark Scott, immediate Past President and Sophie Hall, newly elected President, have both been engaged in supporting Katy’s campaigning activities.

Accepting the position, Katy said:

“I was delighted to be asked. I really value the support I have received from the student society and we have been discussing a number of ways we can continue to work together. Mark has worked hard in the past year to raise the society’s profile and I am sure Sophie will be an impressive lead this year.

The Liberal Democrats have a strong record of support for students, in ensuring there were no top up fees in Scotland when in government and ensuring the Graduate Endowment was abolished in this parliament. I am determined to repay students’ faith in our party by continuing to listen to their concerns as part of my campaign to be positive about young people in Glasgow North.”
