We're looking for students to Adopt a Society and help keep some of our Student Groups running.
Unfortunately, some of our societies have had a tough year and didn’t have a committee in place to take over in May. Adopting a Society is about reviving one of our inactive student groups.
Many of our societies already have everything in place (even including money in the bank). All you need is enthusiasm to help get our student groups back on their feet and get students involved in some of the fantastic opportunities available to them.
So, if you’re interested in taking on a leadership role and develop amazing employability skills as well as meeting new people, see the steps below on how to Adopt a Society.
If you have any questions contact susocieties@bnu.ac.uk
