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:
“The mere fact of leaving ultimate social control in the hands of the people has not guaranteed that men will be able to conduct their lives as free men. Those societies where men know they are free are often democracies, but sometimes they have strong chiefs and kings. ... they have, however, one common characteristic: they are all alike in making certain freedoms common to all citizens, and inalienable.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
