Previous MyUniPals say:
“Apart from the obvious benefits like meeting new people and helping others, [Being a MyUniPal] it also helps to keep you occupied and makes you appreciate your life experiences.” - Ebitimi
“Volunteering is rewarding as you become part of groups as well as make new friends and future links, but it also helps your confidence.” - Julie
What we’re looking for:
-
Registered DMU students who have been here for at least one year;
-
Students who are prepared to attend and support MyUniPal activities and events;

And students who will attend training sessions to help develop as a MyUniPal Rep.
This is a great chance for students to get involved with the celebrations, gain confidence, work in events, enhance employability and join in with a variety of activities. You will also be able to log all the volunteering hours put in to appear on your HEAR report when you graduate.
