hi @everyone!
**tomorrow, we will be hosting our annual candlelit memorial vigil in honour of trans day of remembrance.**
**it will be taking place at 7PM in the university of glasgow main building's cloisters.**

at the cloisters, we will read out the names of the trans lives lost due to transphobia in the past year, followed by a minute of silence. candlesticks, dripguards & lighters will be provided, but you are also welcome to bring your own candlestick to light, if you wish. *for the cloisters portion of the event, we strongly recommend that you dress up warm - we estimate that we will be outdoors at the cloisters for around an hour. *

after this, we will head over to the games bar, on the 1st floor of queen margaret union, where we will share speeches & poetry readings over complimentary bakes & hot drinks, kindly provided by the QMU campaigns team.

if you're interested in sharing a speech or poetry reading tomorrow, we are still accepting signups through the form here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1cD9d0lFURYCBRLMeI8eH8bQLsymFoGAzKoWd3h06uI8/viewform?edit_requested=true

we look forward to seeing you all at the vigil tomorrow <3

@everyone lets all agree no one saw me mess up the first time !

so, we're introducing the family system again this year ! essentially, younger siblings will be grouped together based on shared interests, and assigned to two older siblings who will work as mentors to help the younger get aquainted with life at university.

for younger siblings, sign up here: https://forms.gle/qztMSMVLqQ6GCXX18
