Powered by Webflow
The Central Societies Committee (CSC) is the sole body on campus with the power to grant recognition to societies as well as fund society activity. As the governing body of societies, the CSC represents their interests in dealings with the College authorities. Every year a new Executive Committee is elected to carry out the Committee’s activities and by electing them the Committee delegates its duties and powers to that Exec.
The Executive Committee of the CSC is made up of the student Officers and the Executive. All twelve of these positions will be elected on the 27th March. The four Officers are the Chair, Treasurer, Secretary, and Amenities Officer and the eight other positions on the committee are Executive members.
The responsibilities of the Officers are as follows:
Chairperson: Chairs the meetings of the Committee and the Executive. Oversees the work of the committee. This is a sabbatical position.
Treasurer: Oversees the accounts and the grant application process, consults and advises societies on all things income and expenditure.
Secretary: Advises and oversees all things constitutional, supports societies with the running of general meetings and committee activities.
Amenities Officer: Works on behalf of societies to support and develop the facilities available to them. Think shelving, sofas, upkeep of society rooms.
The eight Executive members then function as ordinary committee members. They decide on grant applications for societies, approve new society applications, and advise on every major decision and activity the CSC undertakes.
Being on the Executive grants you inside access to the inner workings of society life here in Trinity. You meet for an hour once a week to support students and societies to reach new heights of entertainment and exploration and be a part of a diverse team from all different parts of the college who are united in their love for the community and spirit of Trinity societies. You’ll have the chance to advocate for and represent societies at every level of the college. Most of all, you’ll be able to give back to the societies that have given you so much.
In-person session: Monday, 24th February, 2PM - 3PM (there will be pizza!)
