There are alot of people who haven't heard of the SU. There is a bigger group of people who think it's just a bar. I'm here to put the records straight, consider this your one stop tour of all things SU.
So the DSU is made up of 4 sections. Each of these sections are designed to make every student here at DMU have the time of their lives. These sections are as follows:
Now, for some peoples, that would ring some bells but allow me to expand for those new peoples.
Life is life. It's every other service that we provide to make you're student experience amazing. This includes:
So as you can see, there is more to the DSU then a bar. So the question is now, how are you going to get involved?

So the DSU is made up of 4 sections. Each of these sections are designed to make every student here at DMU have the time of their lives. These sections are as follows:
- Voice
- Support
- Life
- Activities.
Now, for some peoples, that would ring some bells but allow me to expand for those new peoples.
Voice:
Voice is pretty self-explanatory, it's all the things that allow you as students to use your voice. This department covers the following:- Councils and AGMs: These allow you to suggest, debate and vote on important policies that shape the very by-laws that everyone must follow from students to officers. It's also a chance to see what we are doing and ask us any questions you may have.
Due to the amount of debating, I now have a tradition that I bring some popcorn with me. Just incase things get exciting. - Campaigns: From disability awareness to housing, there are alot of campaigns that will happen this year (otherwise we're doing a crap job) and somebody has to help us put these all together.
- Representation: From your officer team to all 650+ course reps, we all have the job to make your life better at DMU and voicing any concerns that you may have. It's a tough job but we have a team of nice people in the office that make it easier.
- Officers: Contrary to what some people say, we all got voted into our roles. Every single one of us had to compete for our roles and all of us ran in the elections week which is probally the most stressful and painful experience during my degree, however it's so worth it because you make so many friends and the skills you gain are amazing.
Activites:
Activities is pretty simple. It's all the extra-ciricular stuff, the CV builders and the friendship creators. These are the people that you'll be going to socials with and the people that will build you up when you feel down. There's 4 different types of activities you can get involved in during your time at DMU.- Societies: We have over 100 societies here at the DSU. From Airsoft to Zumba, Creative Writing to Street Law. There is lots of different activities you can get involved in and if you don't see anything you like, visit the activities office and set a new society up.
