Feel Good
Celebrate exciting news from your group with the wider student community through our Feel Good initiative!
As part of the Students’ Union Wins for You campaign, Feel Good initiative is a platform for you to highlight positive achievements from your student group. Whether you've hosted a successful event, launched a new initiative, or celebrated a significant milestone, your Feel Good story could be featured across our social media channels. Here’s how to participate:
- Submit your Feel Good story by filling in a quick submission form where you can share pictures or videos related to your story.
- We will process your submission within 7-10 working days, preparing the content for our @qmsusocieties page.
- Shared! We will tag you in our social media posts featuring your Feel Good story.
We accept submissions throughout the academic year and welcome contributions from all student groups and individual members, whether you’re on the committee or not.
Awards
Every year the Students’ Union hosts Awards to celebrate the hard work and achievements you do within your groups.
The student group awards have two types of awards:
- Honours Awards: Show us what your student group has done this year, based on our list of criteria to receive an Honours award, an accreditation scheme that recognises groups who represent the Students’ Union values. Each category can be won by multiple societies, with this type of award replacing the Trophy Awards from previous years,
- Student Group Awards: Have you excelled in a specific area? Put forward a nomination for one of our various student group awards (Volunteering, Media, and Society) and you could be in with a chance of receiving a general or category-specific award!
On a national level, there is the National Societies & Volunteering Awards (NSVAs) - in 2022 one of our groups were shortlisted for awards!
