At UWS, at really cool way to connect with others on something you are passionate about, is to start a society. The UWS Union (SAUWS) will support you.
Setting up a society is a fairly simple process for students. Here's what they need to get started:
Find three students who are interested in setting up the society
Complete our New Society Application Form: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=t0SZ-E5Kp06RVjKZ80EWR0oqqTPO-yRGsvHbYDDancVUOUtSUDFFMEcxUjU0Q05aMVJJQlFBV0VMTC4u
Jamie at our Student Union (or a colleague) will then arrange a training session with you, where they will get everything organised.
