100 Words: Welcome to the Sustainable Development Society at the University of St. Andrews! The SD society is dedicated to raising awareness and encouraging action towards sustainable development. The most widely held definition of SD is development which meets the needs of present generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs . In a world where neither society nor economy would exist without the environment, we try to bring these three increasingly separated spheres back together. For this we work with students, staff, and the wider community of St. Andrews, and beyond. This year we plan to continue with our programme of panel discussions, seminars, film screenings and social events, and to develop partnerships with both student and professional organizations outside of St Andrews

100 Words: The VDay Society is proud to be part of a global campaign to raise awareness about violence against women. In past years, students have taken part in this campaign by putting on yearly productions of Eve Ensler's 'The Vagina Monologues'. This annual event has quickly become a much-anticipated tradition at the University, and has been a sell-out success each year. This compelled us to establish the VDay Society in order to expand the campaign to include even more fundraising events to involve both the student and local community in St Andrews and to celebrate women all across the world. The campaign has grown over the last few years to include events such as an art exhibit, a performance night, and performances of Eve Ensler s other productions.

We hold weekly meetings where members can cobble together groups either to play there and then, or else arrange alternate game sessions throughout the week.

We have a fairly extensive library for use by members, and regularly liaise with our local hobby retailers in Dundee to involve ourselves with their events. If you re into this sort of thing, or in search of something genuinely different, WARsoc is definitely the place for you.
