Ymateb i’r Ymholiad ynglyn â Nwyddau yn Gymraeg
Mae WH Smith yn gwerthu dillad Prifysgol Caerdydd iaith Saesneg ac iaith Gymraeg yn y siop yn yr adeilad Undeb Myfyrwyr ar Plas y Parc. Mae WH Smith yn prydlesu uned adwerth o fewn yr adeilad Undeb Myfyrwyr ac yn gweithio gyda’r Undeb Myfyrwyr i ddarparu gwasanaeth gwerthfawr i fyfyrwyr a staff Prifysgol Caerdydd.
Ddoe, daethpwyd i’n sylw bod perthynas un o’r graddedigion yn seremonïau graddio Prifysgol Caerdydd wedi trydar am ddiffyg dillad iaith Gymraeg ar y stondin marchnadaeth Graddio. Roedden ni wedi ein siomi gyda hyn, felly gofynnon ni i WH Smith pam nad oedd dillad iaith Gymraeg ar werth. Roedd WH Smith yn awchus i ddatrys y mater, a gwnaethon nhw yn siwr cymerwyd digon o hwdîs iaith Gymraeg o’r siop yn yr adeilad Undeb Myfyrwyr draw i’r stondin i werthu heddiw (17 Gorffenaf).
Mae Undeb Myfyrwyr Prifysgol Caerdydd wedi’i ymrwymo i’r iaith Gymraeg, ac yn gweithio gyda Prifysgol Caerdydd, Coleg Cymraeg, UCM Cymru, a rhanddeiliaid eraill ar argymelliadau i ehangu darpariaeth iaith Gymraeg fel nodwedd pwysig o brofiad y myfyriwr ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd.

Response to Welsh Merchandise Query
WH Smith sell both English language and Welsh language Cardiff University clothing in their store within the Students’ Union building on Park Place. WH Smith lease a retail unit within the Students’ Union building and work with the Students’ Union to provide a valuable service to Cardiff University students and staff.
Yesterday, we were made aware that a relation of a graduate at one of Cardiff University’s graduation ceremonies tweeted about the lack of Welsh language clothing at a graduation merchandise stall. We were disappointed by this, so asked WH Smith why no Welsh language clothing were on sale. WH Smith said that they were keen to resolve the matter and ensured that ample Welsh language hoodies were taken to the stall from their store within the Students’ Union building and were on sale today (17th July).
Cardiff University Students’ Union is committed to the Welsh language, and is working with Cardiff University, Coleg Cymraeg, NUS Wales, and other stakeholders on recommendations to further establish Welsh Language provision as an important feature of the student experience at Cardiff University.
