Societies Officer

Khanh An (Alix) Le

 

About the role:

Societies and clubs at Queen Mary cover a huge range of interests (over 300!) and can be a great way to pursue passions and build strong friendships. Every year, we have thousands of new students eager to get involved and the Societies Officer plays an important role in being the voice of these students. As a Societies Officer, you will approve new societies, plan and deliver events as well as allocate funding, all while working closely with SU staff. You’d also ensure that Mile End Societies and the SU maintain strong communication so everything runs smoothly!

 

Responsibilities:
  • Represent the interests of Mile End societies and student groups and be the voice of Mile End society and student group members.
  • Convene and co-ordinate with the Societies Officer (BL) the Union’s Societies Board.
  • Assist relevant members of Union staff with events, training and general support for Mile End societies and student groups.
  • Attend relevant meetings within the Students’ Union and the university (see list of compulsory meetings below)
  • Encourage and aid Union communication with Mile End societies and student groups
  • Be the student face of Mile End societies and student groups and accessible to students with society or student group inquiries.
  • Actively work to develop Mile End societies and student groups.
  • Provide regular updates on your work to the students you represent
  • Fulfil additional duties as outlined in the Bye-Laws.
