Agapé - Glasgow Student Leaders

"Agapé Student Life is committed to the audacious principle of student leadership - the belief that students are best placed to make Jesus known at their own universities. Throughout history, wherever students have stepped up to lead the effects have been powerful, creative and contagious. Our job as Agapé staff is to be experts in spotting and developing potential, helping equip students to lead. We want to inspire student leaders that God wants to use them to make a difference at their universities and in the lives of their peers." (Andy Atkins, Agapé UK National Director)

Below you'll find a bit of information about the Student Leaders in Glasgow.

Hadassah Silveira

University of Glasgow

Hadassah is from Alaska. She explains: “I want to let people know what student life is all about. I want to be part of a ‘go to’ group for people with bones to pick or questions to ask christians. I want to especially help first year christians overcome the fear we all have of sharing our faith. I have the advantage of going back to the other side of the world in a year, so I want to make the most of feeling less fearful while I’m here and hope it sinks in longer term."

Andy Hayes

Strathclyde University

Andy is a first year engineering student at Strathclyde University. He explains: "I was impressed by Student Life's vision for building relationships and discipleship on campus. Our outreach should could from a love for our fellow students and one of the best ways to show God’s love is to be there for people and to listen to them. I’ve met loads of people though Student Life and I’m looking forward to continuing to getting to know them all and others. Student Life is just starting in Glasgow so just now we’re building foundations. We’ve been getting to know lots of people, getting to know Glasgow and the way its students think and react. This involves lots of coffee!"
