Science Students’ Society is a student organisation affiliated with both the Melbourne University Student Union (UMSU) and the Faculty of Science. It is run by a committee of current Melbourne University students from a variety of faculties. The committee, including six executives and a further ten general members, is re-elected annually by the members of that year, and must consist of at least five first year students. Our member-base consists of over 2500 undergraduate, post-graduate and past students, with over 1000 new members signed-up this year!
The SSS is a non-profit organisation, but runs off revenue generated by its own events. It is partially subsidised by Clubs and Societies at UMSU, and we greatly appreciate sponsorship and donations from large and small local businesses. The society continues to run successfully, but ALL money raised throughout the year is spent solely on future SSS services and events.
Our aim is to create a light-hearted supportive yet entertaining environment, in which we can provide a variety of helpful and informative student services, discounts to members, and study relief in the form of many popular events.
