Student Society Presidents

Become a Student Leader

Newcastle University Students’ Union (NUSU) supports more than 150 student-led societies, covering everything from academic subjects and the arts to culture, fundraising and shared interests. Joining a society is a great way to meet new people.

Become a Principal Committee member and help lead the society, organise activities and support its members. Principal Committee roles include President, Secretary, Treasurer, Welfare Officer and Social Secretary.

As Society President you will have the opportunity to:

• lead the society
• be responsible for its overall direction, organisation, and representation
• act as the main point of contact between the club and NUSU

To become a Society President of an existing society, you must be a paid member of that society and nominate yourself when elections open in April and May. 

Or you can also start a new society in term one by forming a full Principal Committee, setting clear aims and gaining at least 15 paid members within three months to achieve full ratification and receive support from NUSU.
