As another academic year draws to a close it is evaluation time again for the  Developing College Students Associations (DCSA) project! This evaluation is super important for us because it helps us keep the funding flowing from the Scottish Funding Council (SFC), and plans how we can continue supporting College Students’ Associations in Scotland in the best possible way. 

We've been listening to your feedback, and we've made things much easier for this year's evaluation. We're keeping it simple with a one-hour interview. You'll get to chat with Ian or Laura about the current state of your SA, talk about the progress you've made throughout the year, and  explore the  impact that NUS and sparqs support has had on your SA's growth. 

Oh, and just a friendly reminder: these interviews are all about evaluating the DCSA project itself, not your SA. So no need to stress about your SA's performance! 

We've scheduled the interviews during the months of June and July. This gives us plenty of time to dig deep and learn about the amazing work and transformative changes that have taken place within your SA so we can get that information to the SFC in good time 

By participating in these interviews, you're playing a major role in shaping the future of the DCSA project. Your feedback and experiences are like gold to us! They help us fine-tune our support to meet the ever-evolving needs of College SAs. Together, we can keep fostering a vibrant and thriving student movement across colleges in Scotland. Your input is invaluable in showcasing the powerful impact of collaboration and effective support on the growth and success of students’ associations. 

So mark those calendars, get ready to chat, and let's make this evaluation process a true celebration of all the fantastic work you've done, and what you need to progress even further. We can't wait to hear your thoughts and insights! 

If you've not yet scheduled an interview with Ian or Laura, please e-mail Laura at laura.jimenez-hernandez@nus-scotland.org.uk  

Thank you for being a supporter of the DCSA project. We truly appreciate your dedication and all the awesome things you're doing to make a positive change in College SAs.
