Niruba Rasuratnam (She/Her)
Hello there!
My name is Niruba Rasuratnam and I am a first-year PhD student in the Mental Health and Wellbeing Program. As an international student coming from Canada, and a visible minority who is the daughter to immigrants, my goal is to make sure that the University of Glasgow is a welcoming place for everyone.
I hope to be a comforting friend for any of my colleagues to confide in throughout their duration as a PGR student and provide a loud voice regarding any concerns with the school that they have. Mostly, as someone who’s far from home herself, I hope to focus on the safety and security of my fellow students while also making them smile. I would like to especially ensure that the mental wellbeing of my peers is a priority and that they never feel isolated throughout their time at the university, especially as the weather gets colder and darker.
