Who are the Societies Committee?

All York SU societies are represented by the Societies Committee. The Committee votes on new society applications, decides grant allocations, and feeds back to York SU on any issues societies are facing. A medical societies representative, elected internally by the Medical Society, also sits on the committee to help ratify HYMS societies. York SU's Activities Development Coordinator supports the Committee's work and takes minutes of meetings.

Societies Committee is chaired by the Activities Officer and consists of one elected representative for each society category:


Reps will:

Societies Committee meets every three weeks and its minutes are available online.

Nomination Rules 

You don't have to be a member of committee to run as a rep for our Societies Committee. The only thing that we ask that you have is a membership to the society category you are wanting to represent. 

For example: 

A student who is a member of SwiftSoc could run as a Games and Fandom Rep, because the Taylor Swift Society are part a Games and Fandom Society. This student however would not be eligible to run for a Campaigning and Political Rep, unless they are also a member of a Campaigning and Political Society (such as Amnesty). 


A student who is a member of Engineering Society and Catholic Society are eligible to run to be a rep for Academic and Educational Societies or Faith Societies.
