UWS Former Staff Association
The UWS Former Staff Association was formed in November 2025 for the benefit of all former employees (and their spouses/partners) from University of the West of Scotland and its founding institutions: Bell College; Craigie College; Paisley College of Technology; Paisley College; and University of Paisley.
About us
The UWS Former Staff Association aims to provide opportunities for former staff to engage with each other and keep up to date with university news and events.
There is no membership fee, and some events are offered at a subsidised cost.
Spouses/partners of members are welcome to attend all activities of the association and be members in their own right.
Get involved
The success of the Former Staff Association depends on the active involvement of members. Please get in touch if you have any comments or suggestions and particularly if you would be willing to be involved with the organisation of the association.
Join us
UWS Former Staff Association members will receive the UWS Alumni and Friends monthly e-newsletter and invitations to coffee meets throughout the year, university events such as public lectures, the annual Burns Day Supper and Christmas Lunch.
Please email alumni@uws.ac.uk to register to join the UWS Former Staff Association. Just tell us a little bit about yourself including where and when you worked with us.
