5 ways to get involved

Get online

Log on and visit our website where you can find loads of information on what is going on and where. You can also join up to clubs and societies and buy tickets for nights out (this helps to avoid any disappointment of not being able get in on the night!).

Join a club or a society

The SU offers over 200 sports and societies (social, political, cultural and academic) - there's bound to be something you already enjoy or want to give a go. If there isn’t, then set it up!

Attend an event

The SU coordinates a massive range of events across its venues throughout the year. If you can survive on very little sleep, you could potentially do a different activity every night!

Volunteer

Become a member of the V-Team and get involved with volunteering in the local community. This can be anything from building websites for charities, to conservation and sports coaching. You can also help at events throughout the year, such as fundraising for charity...whilst having fun!

Feed yourself

If all of this seems a bit like hard work, or you just want to relax and chill out, you can still get involved with the SU. There are various places to eat on campus which serve a wide range of food. You can sample loads of dishes from freshly made pizza at Mondo, to more traditional meals such as jacket potatoes or pie and chips in the SU Bar.

At the end of the day, if there is something you feel would improve the student experience at Essex, put it forward to the SU – their job is to listen to you!
