National Societies Awards,

About the event

The Proposed Event

The National Societies Awards will be an awards ceremony for societies across the country, hosted by The Students’ Union at the University of the West of England (UWE) on Saturday 28th May 2016. Students' Unions are run by students,for students, and a big part of that are the student-led societies which make up the majority of the paid membership. 

Societies have yet to gain any formal recognition for their considerable contribution to the progression of student learning, career development and student experience at university. The National Societies Awards would aim to credit Society’s efforts and grant them national acknowledgment for their contribution to the student experience. Most importantly through the awards we are identifying the future leaders of tomorrow.

The event will grant students, who have gone above and beyond the expected, the highest recognition. Their efforts and achievements can then be highlighted on their CV’s which will in turn enhance their employability and graduate opportunities.

So far there are 35 confirmed universities who have shown considerable interest for the ceremony. The objective of the annual event is to provide a formal environment where we can celebrate the successes highlighted through the awards. We aim to generate support from relevant sponsor companies to provide credibility and boost the recognition of the event to national organisations.

Why should you sponsor?
