Student Society Treasurers

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 Treasurer you have the opportunity to:

• oversees finances, including budgeting, payments, income and expenditure
• use NUSU's Central Management System to process expenses 
• ensuring financial procedures are followed by all members
• liaise with the Students' Union on all matters relating to the financial management of your student group

To join the Principal Committee of an existing society, you must be a paid member of that society and nominate yourself when elections open during the academic year. 

Or start your own 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.
