After the unfortunate cancellation of Refreshers Part 2, we’re back…

 

 
 
You may have heard that last month, Refreshers had a bit of a windy hiccup. Due to the weather, Part 2 of our big Refreshers event had to be cancelled. But that doesn’t mean the fun is over.  
 
Because Refreshers is BACK! This time, on the web. Yup, welcome to Virtual Refreshers! Your home for all things societies, clubs, sport, and LUSU. Discover everything you almost missed from Refreshers – but online!  
 
We’ve developed a fancy digital map for you to explore. Spot a society you’re interested in and give it a quick click to find out more. Plus, look out for some stories on our Instagram where we give you some insight into some of the different kinds of societies here at Lancaster. Such as… 
 
Academic & Departmental 
 
Ready to extend your academic interests outside of the classroom?  
 
Your Academic & Departmental clubs are a great chance to meet your course mates, chat about lectures, create study groups, discover opportunities in your field, and just have fun with friends!  
 
 
Faith, Cultural, & Community 
 
We’re proud of Lancaster’s diverse cultural community – and you should be too!  
 
These societies help you connect with people from similar (and different) backgrounds, so that home is never too far away. Engage in your community, culture, and faith and discover new support along the way.  
 
 
Political & Campaigning 
 
Love a heated debate? Maybe there’s a cause you’re passionate about? Our Political and campaigning societies might be perfect for you!  
 
These societies give you the opportunity to meet likeminded people of similar political beliefs and campaign passions, with plenty of events for you to get stuck into.  
 
 
Special Interest 

Got a real niche interest that nobody else gets? Well, now they do!  
 
Join one (or more) of our many special interest societies to get involved with your fave things. From K-Pop to Real Ale & Cider, there’s something for everyone.  
 
 
Liberation & LUSU Services 
 
Our liberation societies, often run in collaboration with your Liberation & Campaign Officers (LCOs), support you to support the causes that matter to students.  
 
And then, there’s us! For all your student services, we’re here for you. From LUSU Advice and LUSU Green, to LUSU Living and The Sugarhouse – plus more!  
 

 
So, what are you waiting for? Get exploring Virtual Refreshers now! Keep an eye out on the LUSU Instagram for more information about some of your societies.  
 
Don’t forget there’s even more out there too! This guide just covers some of our societies that missed out on their chance to host a stall at Refreshers due to the cancellation. We support many more clubs, societies and student groups and you can find them all at www.lancastersu.co.uk/groups. 
 
See you online!
