Clubs Trainings and Socials
You are not on your own running a club; come to trainings or find friends at executive socials!
Club Executives are given multiple opportunities throughout the year to participate in both club training and professional development. These training sessions build on club management skills and enhance career development. Themes include strategic planning, grant writing, supporting mental health, committee governance, and leadership.
Clubs are run by students for students. Each club is run by at least 3 'executives.' These consist of the President, Secretary and Treasurer. Students are encouraged to join, collaborate, and connect with the diverse network of student leaders at various networking and social events throughout the year.
Student executives are encouraged to join our social events held regularly throughout the year. This is a great way to connect with other execs and attend a free social activity or lunch.
