Support and Guidance for hosting events & gaining members Have started on an information booklet that will be produced by events management students The booklet will include top tips and advice on how to hold successful events and how to promote your society as best as you can The booklet will contain further information on how to boost membership and retain those members throughout the year

Society Spotlight Each week a society will be given extensive media coverage from the SU displaying what their society is all about and what you get up to on a weekly basis Throughout the week non-members that may have missed you during Societies fair will be encouraged to get involved in your activities and meetings again helping you to boost membership throughout the year and not just during fresher’s or re-fresher’s

Increase the number of Academic Societies The SU and the University have been working very close to increase the number of academic societies that we have Similar to UoC Psychology we want your academic course to encourage the creation of a society in order to increase social activity whilst providing any extra help that you may need on your course
