NEED SOCIETY HELP?

Undergraduate students: Attending a committee training session is a required task if you would like your 2019/20 committee role to be recorded in your Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR). These February/ March sessions are your last chance to attend training.

You:

• Can attend any session

• Need to attend one session per committee (so two committees = two sessions)

• Need to arrive on time and stay until the end of the session

• Need to sign in to the session

The training session will count towards HEAR verification for the society/committee which you select on your sign-up form.

Questions about the HEAR? Please email hear@shef.ac.uk.

We have £40,000 to give to societies each year!
