NEED SOCIETY HELP?
Undergraduate students: Attending a committee training session is a required task if you would like your 2019/20 committee role to be recorded in your Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR). These February/ March sessions are your last chance to attend training.
You:
• Can attend any session
• Need to attend one session per committee (so two committees = two sessions)
• Need to arrive on time and stay until the end of the session
• Need to sign in to the session
The training session will count towards HEAR verification for the society/committee which you select on your sign-up form.
Questions about the HEAR? Please email [email protected].
We have £40,000 to give to societies each year!
