Societies & Volunteering
There are many different societies operating within the University of Lancaster. Common areas include sports, hobbies, politics and religion. The Lancaster University Economics Society (LUES) is the largest academic student-run society with over 400 members, and it arranges weekly lectures and debates on a range of topics. There are also volunteering societies, notably InterVol, an international volunteering project which sends volunteers to rural Uganda each summer to work with a health and sanitation charity.
There are several fairs during the freshers period in which various clubs and societies promote themselves. Bailrigg FM is the student radio station and Lancaster University Cinema is the student union's on-campus cinema, based in Bowland College Lecture Theatre.

Famous quotes containing the word societies:
“In societies where modern conditions of production prevail, all of life presents itself as an immense accumulation of spectacles. Everything that was directly lived has moved away into a representation.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
