Register for the 2nd Societies Summer Conference on the 30th or 31st August to be entitled to a Welcome Fair stall and a £50 start-up grant.
This year, we held a Societies Summer Conference for new and returning Principal Officers where students learnt everything you need to know about running a great Society. It was such a great success that we've decided to organise another one!
The dates of are as follows:
New Principal Officers: Wednesday 30th August 2pm-5pm, Clark Kennedy Lecture Theatre, Queen Mary Innovation Centre, Whitechapel Campus
Returning Principal Officers: Thursday 31st August 2pm-5pm, Blomeley Room 2, Ground Floor Students' Union Hub, Mile End Campus
To be clear, Principal Officers include ONLY Presidents, Treasurers, Vice Presidents and Secretaries. If you have served in one of these four roles before, please attend the Returning Principal Officers session. If you are a brand new Principal Officer or have only served as a committee member in the past (e.g. events officer, publicity officer, advisor) please attend the New Principal Officers session. The sessions will be tailored accordingly to make sure you are not learning information that you already know.
Please send a total of Two Principal Officers to the sessions. One Principal Officer might need to attend one session and one might need to attend the other, or both might need to attend the same one. If you would like to send a committee member in place of a Principal Officer, please email us to let us know why.
If you are in London on the above dates, please make sure you attend the 2nd Societies Summer Conference. If you do, you will not have to attend the training which will take place the week before Welcome Week. We are holding these extra dates to train as many committee members as possible before September. It is compulsory to attend either the Summer Conference or the training in September to ensure the you are entitled to a Welcome Fair stall and your £50 start-up grant.
Registration is compulsory. Please register by completing this short survey: www.qmsu.org/surveys/secondsummerconference
If you have any questions, please email su-societies@qmul.ac.uk.
We look forward to seeing you there!
