A huge pleasure to attend an event to mark the @uniwestscotland's signing of the Armed Forces Covenant in Paisley on Friday. Professor James A Miller FRSE conducted the signing with MOD representative Lt Col Gary Giles RM. Panel discussions highlighted how highly veterans are valued by employers in the West of Scotland, and emphasised the University's commitment to supporting ex-Forces staff and students and their families.
