The CSC is holding this town hall to address any ongoing issues of accessibility and inclusivity within college societies. We want to hear from all those involved in society life to let us know what you think the CSC can do to facilitate making all societies as inclusive and accessible for all members of staff and the student body as possible.

All staff and students are welcome to attend and give their opinions and recommendations on how we can enable more inclusive events, activities and general engagement. Click here to register

The function of this meeting is to give society members a platform to inform the CSC on how we can facilitate an increase in accessibility across society life. It is integral that whatever work we do comes first from those in the societies. Because of this we urge you all to attend.

The CSC Treasurer, Sam, will be holding office hours each week in the CSC office in House 6 from 10am to 12pm on Mondays and from 1.30pm to 3pm on Tuesdays. This is an opportunity to drop in and have a chat with them about any queries you may have about your society’s finances, the CSC, or whatever it may be.

RUNNING FOR CSC EXECUTIVE


The CSC Michaelmas TGM will be held on Tuesday 13th September.


At this meeting we will be electing a Chairperson, Secretary and a Treasurer.  Please consider running for either of these positions.  It’s a really good way to understand how societies work in College and to help foster the unique extracurricular life that we have here in Trinity.  These positions are voluntary and probably require a time input of a aprox 5 hours per week – you will be fully supported by the three CSC staff, and be part of a great team.  If you have been elected to a society committee this year, you know how much students get out of being involved – why not run as a CSC Officer and make things even better for your peers.  Please get in touch if you want to know more. 

We have sent out nomination forms to the Treasurers of societies – nominations will close at 5p.m. on Tuesday 6th September.

Email [email protected] if you have any questions!
