After you leave Imperial you can still remain part of the Union by becoming a Life Member. This allows you to continue to attend events and use the Union's facilities at a reduced Membership rate.
As a Life Member of the Union you will be able to continue meeting your friends in DaVinci's Bar, dBs Club and the Union bar in South Kensington, plus the facilities at Wye, Silwood and the bar and social area at Charing Cross. You will be welcome at sporting events and other club and society events such as musical productions or film showings. Major yearly events such as the International Night and the Summer Ball are a wonderful chance to get together again as a group with your College friends. A Life Membership payment of only £50 will entitle you to use the Union, attend events and bring up to two guests and only pay the special student rate.
