Dear Student Member,
The NUT Societies initiative hopes to set up NUT Societies at Universities across England and Wales. The initiative started in January 2007 and so far we have 9 NUT societies.
Having a NUT Society at your University is a great way to support you and other teacher-training students during the course. The society can offer training on topics relevant to your training and can also be a forum where you and your course colleagues can discuss issues and best practice.
Being a member of a NUT Society means you can get to know other student teachers and share your passion and ideas about your future profession.
Most importantly, a NUT Society can be a catalyst for change in your courses and placements, as you will be able to campaign for issues that matter to you. This can be celebrating success in your courses, pushing for improvements, or raising awareness of wider issues.
It's easy to get involved, and once your society is up and running, you'll find it's social, fun, and looks great on your CV. Everything you need to know is here at the Student Centre, and if you have any more questions, please contact us at c.doyle@nut.org.uk and nutscholarship@nus.org.uk.
Best wishes
Carly Doyle, NUT Student Officer and Ed Marsh, NUS NUT Scholarship Holder 08/09
