 Emily is the 2025/26 LUSU Activities Officer. 

Do you care about the future of societies at Lancaster? Want to make a real difference to the student experience while developing your own skills and meeting students from across campus? Then why not stand for Societies Committee?

Societies Committee plays a key role in supporting and representing the diverse range of societies that make Lancaster's student community so vibrant. Committee members work alongside the Students' Union to help make decisions such as new society affiliations, society funding, champion student ideas, and ensure societies have the support they need to thrive.

This year, there are more opportunities than ever to get involved, with the number of committee seats increasing to reflect the breadth of our societies community and the introduction of additional representation areas. We're looking for passionate students from all types of societies to help ensure a wide range of voices are heard.

You don't need previous committee experience to stand, just enthusiasm, ideas, and a desire to make societies even better for everyone.

Being a member of Societies Committee is a fantastic opportunity to:

• Represent students and shape the future of societies
• Gain leadership and decision-making experience
• Develop skills that look great on your CV
• Meet and work with students from across campus
• Have a lasting impact on student life at Lancaster

Whether you're involved in an academic society, cultural group, performing arts society,  or student media group, we'd love to see you put yourself forward.

Nominations close at 9am on Monday 22 June, so don't miss your chance to get involved.

If anyone has any questions or would like a chat about what the roles entail, please get in contact with Emily at lusuactivities@lancaster.ac.uk.
