Societies Executive
What does it do?
The Societies Exec is an elected committee that oversees UBU's Societies alongside the VP Activities. Its purpose is to:
-
Coordinate, support and develop Society activity
-
Consider applications to create new Societies
-
Allocate Society grants
Who's part of it?
The committee is elected annually by Society committee leaders and is made up of 10 elected students as well as the VP Activities and the Student Activities Administrator. Make sure you get to know your Society Rep - each one is responsible for a group of societies and they'll be on hand to help you throughout the year. The committee members are:

Please feel free to get in contact with your representative. If you want to improve the way UBU runs its Activities, right here is the best place to make your view heard.
Also, if you need advice on an issue, these guys have probably done it all before and are more than happy to answer your query, or pass it on to the Societies Executive to discuss.
