As this new academic term begins things look very different from last year but that isn't all bad news for Your Societies. Record numbers of new members have joined societies keen to connect with other like minded students. Standard membership is free, for at least term 1, meaning members can give different societies a go. As ever Your SU are here with lots of support to help your society thrive. We'll help you to connect with your members and with other societies to get the very best out of this term.

Plus Your SU are launching academic societies in October; enrolling almost every student into an academic community that links to their programme of study. 

We do know that our societies are keen to get active and to bring members together in person. Your SU want this too but your safety and the safety of others is paramount and anything that you do must follow current government guidance relating to COVID-19. if you are thinking about, or planning, in person activity please contact us so we can help you by checking that your activity is compliant with the most up to date guidance and meets any additional safety requirements that Your SU and the University of Sunderland have put in place.  

You can contact us for support and information. Email: yoursocieties@sunderland.ac.uk
