About
The Clubs & Societies department is the biggest (and definitely the most penguin-loving) department of UMSU. The Clubs & Societies Officers and Committee look after more than 200 clubs. This involves all the fun stuff: affiliating new clubs, approving grant applications, and providing training to help clubs manage their financial, administrative, and food and alcohol-related ways. If you have any issues or queries regarding club shenanigans (how to start a club, organise an event, fill out forms, or anything else) we’re the people to talk to, so feel free to drop in and have a chat!

C&S Committee Countback Election (July 2024)
Zhuo Zhao resigned from the C&S Committee on July 24. On July 24 all unsuccessful candidates from the October 2023 election were contacted. Those that have confirmed that they wish to be included in the countback are:

All other candidates excluded themselves or did not respond by the close of business on July 30.
As there was only one candidate who wished to be included I am declaring Ewan Bezzobs elected unopposed to the C&S Committee.
