These elections are to determine the next society committee for the academic year 2025-2026. Leading a society can help you gain core transferrable skills and make you more employable. You'll also be able to host and participate in different activities and enhance student experience. This is a great way to make new friends, and you are responsible for your time commitment and can determine what time you'd like to dedicate the society.
3 posts are up for election.

We help develop an understanding of the game of chess and help players improve whether they are casual or competitive players. Weekly sessions are usually on mondays and wednesdays where we play a lot of blitz/rapid games and some hand-and-brain chess.
During tournament/league season, we have training sessions where we focus on theoretical studies and opening preparation.
