Can’t find a society that reflects your interests? Why not start your own?

MDXSU is here to support you every step of the way, from setting up your society to promoting it, managing finances, and more. Before you know it, you’ll be connecting with like-minded students and building a vibrant community around your passion.

Running a society comes with loads of benefits. You’ll meet new people, build friendships, and gain valuable experience in areas like leadership, teamwork, and event planning, all of which look great on your CV and are highly valued by employers. Plus, your hard work could be recognised through incentives and competitions throughout the year, and you can even win an SU award!

To get started, you’ll just need a minimum of three students to form your society committee and fulfil the following roles:

Committee chair

• Acts as main liaison between the SU and Society, managing the majority of communications
• Representing society and SU both on and off campus
• Working as a team to set up and run events for your student group alongside your committee
• Ensure all committee members are up to date with student group training 

Treasurer 

• Work with SU’s Communities and Finance team to accurately fund society events and activities
• Keep up to date with your society pot and manage your budget 
• Ensure all committee members understand the finance processes in the SU
• Work together with the committee to come up with innovative ways to finance society outside of the SU (fundraising, sponsorship etc)

Events Coordinator 

• Work closely with the Treasurer to follow set budgets when planning society events
• Ensure regular activity and events are run to bring a sense of community through student groups, being sure to take into consideration a wide range of student needs  
• Find creative ways to collaborate and network with other societies, working together to create activity that appeals to a diverse range of students
• Once you have 3 members to help you run your committee, fill out our new society form here: https://wkf.ms/3Bn8UmH , and the communities' team will be in contact within 3-5 working days next steps for you and your committee members!
