Saw Swee Hock / Online, London
Free
Here at the SU, we want you to feel ready, excited and confident to lead your world-class student groups next year.
To help achieve this, we're introducing our new Development Forums throughout August and September, to empower you to take your group to the next level.
📍 Some sessions will take place online, and some in-person in the Saw Swee Hock (see ticket descriptions for details).
These small-group sessions will be completely tailored to your individual requirements. With the guidance of our expert staff, you'll have the chance to discuss:
The main part of the session will then be guided by you! When you sign up to a session, you'll be asked if there are any particular areas you'd like to discuss with the Societies Team, so that we can tailor the session to your requirements.
For example, you may wish to ask for advice on:
There really are no silly questions, so please ask us about anything that's unclear, or that you'd like further advice on. Don't worry, you can submit the questions anonymously if you'd like.
By the end of these sessions, we want you to feel excited and ready for the year ahead, so please ask as many questions as you like!
Only 1 person per committee needs to attend. We'd generally expect this to be the President, but if they're unavailable then any committee member is welcome!
On the morning of your session, you will receive an email with the online meeting link.
The sessions are mainly aimed at Presidents, but if capacity allows, then any committee member is welcome!
Please note, these forums are for Societies only. The Sports team will be in touch with Clubs directly about Club development meetings.
If a president is unavailable for all of the sessions, then we'd recommend the Secretary, Treasurer or Vice President attends instead.
Please email su.societies@lse.ac.uk if no-one in your core committee can attend any of the sessions.
To get the most out of these sessions, we would strongly encourage you to have a think beforehand about any specific topics or questions you'd like to discuss with our dedicated Societies staff.
To help with this, you could complete a Development Plan to help identify any areas that you feel unsure of, or would like to discuss further.
We'll also have plenty of time in the session for additional questions.
No, if you've been contacted by the SU to have an individual Development Meeting, then you don't need to attend a Forum as well.
Each session is scheduled to last no more than 1 hour.
Please just email su.societies@lse.ac.uk to let us know, and we can open up your slot to someone else.
