We’re excited to launch our new monthly Societies Spotlight blog series, where we’ll be shining a light on one Manchester Met society each month.

From behind-the-scenes prep for major events to celebrating big wins, or simply having fun together. This series is all about showcasing the amazing things our societies get up to. By sharing your stories in your own words, we hope to help students discover new communities and feel inspired to get involved at Manchester Met.

It's never too late to join a society!
