*Winner of the Coventry University Student’s Union award for Most Improved Society 2016!*
The DRS welcomes members from all courses. Although we primarily attract students from Disaster Management, Geography, Natural Hazards, and Engineering, our interests are so diverse that there is bound to be something here for you!
As our name suggests, we are all about disasters of any kind and resilience to such, which means that we aim to cover a very broad range of topics in our activities, from personal development to poverty issues to personal emergency preparedness.
As a committee, our aims are:
- To produce, develop and source enriching activities for members on local, national and international levels.
- To assist members in support of their goals and aspirations.
- To establish a network for students and practitioners to engage academically and socially in a comfortable environment.
- To facilitate fundraising and awareness projects for charities chosen by members.
This year, we aim to organise a variety of social events and guest speakers, as well as other potential trips, whilst providing opportunities for our members to use and enhance their skills in a constructive environment.
We are member-driven, so that means if there is something you want to do, we will help you make that a reality. We accept members all year round, so even if you just want to attend an event or two, we could be right for you!
We also like to send out a weekly update regarding society activities, which is always open to member input, so feel free to contact us if there is something you want to add in the next update.
Student membership is £5 a year.
Associate membership (non-student, faculty members or alumni) is £10.
Memberships go towards insurance and general running costs as well as funding guest speakers and workshops.
So get in touch, we can’t wait to hear from you!!!
