Student societies

  • Aims for 2013 include:
  1. engage more societies at more institutions
  2. bring some of the students from societies to EduWiki 2013
  3. strengthen support for established societies
  • Ways to reach above aims:
  1. national awareness campaign: How can WMUK support Student Societies? -> currently in discussion with SB
  2. campaign tie-in competition for societies to present activities plan at EduWiki 13 -> see Student societies
  3. ensure appropriate support for freshers' week -> CUWS has already requested support for October 2013
  4. national awareness campaign --> started in August with volunteer support

  1. mail-out to student unions to raise awareness
  2. online form for application for support

  1. create UK edition of Education brochure and possibly other Education-related materials available here.

  2. are promotional materials related to EduWiki or Student Societies campaign covered by this part of the Education budget?
