Officer Academy 2019

Congratulations to all newly elected and returning Club, Society & Project Officers for 2019/20!

You are now one of 2,500+ volunteers who have stepped forward to improve the experience of students across Imperial and beyond. You play a big part in the Union and its success.

So, you’ve successfully secured your place on a committee, exams are over (or nearly over...) and Welcome Fair is on the horizon but so far away. Now what…?

Enter the 2019 Officer Academy!

Officer Academy is the Union's annual conference-style induction and training day that will provide you with the tools and knowledge to run your Club, Society or Project well, while give useful tips to help you plan your year.

    Key things to remember

    • The number of workshops on offer vary, with limited places available; most workshops will get fully booked pretty quickly!
    • By registering online you can secure a place on your chosen workshops
    • We cannot guarantee your place if you have not registered online, however we will try our best to accomodate you where possible on the day
    • It is simply not possible to attend all workshops on offer so we suggest you split sessions among your committee to cover as much as possible
