About us
The Central Societies Committee (CSC) is the body responsible for student societies in Trinity College. The objects of the CSC are:
- To promote the interests of student societies and to act as their representative within the University of Dublin and Trinity College.
- To consider applications for, and to grant, recognition as University societies; and to regulate the continuing recognition of such societies.
- To elect representatives to sit on the Capitation Committee.
- To elect representatives to sit on other committees as appropriate.
- To seek from the Capitation Committee a proportion of the capitation fees adequate to meet the needs of societies.
- To distribute grants to societies out of the money allocated to the C.S.C. by the Capitation Committee, and to oversee the usage of said monies.
- To oversee the auditing of the accounts of societies.
- To develop an overall policy for the maintenance, use and extension of the accommodation and facilities available to societies, and to implement any such policies by the acquisition by the CSC or its duly appointed nominees of property by purchase, lease, hire, exchange or otherwise.

The CSC is one of five "capitated bodies" in College. The others are: The Students Union (SU), The D.U. Central Athletic Club (DUCAC), The Publications Committee (Pubs) and the Graduate Students Union (GSU).Each student, undergrad and postgrad, pays an registration fee, part of which goes to the "Capitation Committee" for distribution to the five bodies. - If you have any questions try our FAQ section or simply contact us, we'd be happy to help.

Emma offers to help with anything societies need in the daily running of your society. She can assist you with any issues or queries related to your society website, the CSC website and your society email. She will also help with anything related to the promotion of your society, particularly your sponsorship and PR needs.
Joseph O'Gorman is the Strategic Development Officer - he is responsible for the development of the CSC’s long term strategy. The SDO ensures that the support that the CSC gives societies matches their needs as much as possible. The SDO works with the College Civic Development Officer and the Dean of Students to ensure that College neither forgets the importance of societies to the well-being of students and of the College nor that societies exist for students not for College’s own strategic aims. The SDO is responsible for the training and mentoring of the CSC Executive and Officers.
