Welcome!
Whether you are a new or returning member of the Emily Carr Students' Union, this a great year to get involved in your students' union, build community on campus, and join the fight for accessible education. On campus, the Students' Union works to protect students' rights and advocates for the interests of its members. As a student, your experiences at Emily Carr University are not independent or isolated from those of the many other students here. Working with other students to improve your education (and society as a whole) by addressing issues that affect us all, such as waitlists, student debt, etc., is more effective than working alone. Volunteers are always needed to lobby and campaign with the Students' Union and Canadian Federation of Students (CFS). In the past, student campaigns have proven effective in making changes and increasing awareness on a host of different issues affecting students.
Visit the Students' Union office in room 150a in the cafeteria to find out what campaigns and lobbying will be initiated this year. Pick up your free Students' Union Day Planner from the Students' Union office, and find out about membership in the Canadian Federation of Students.
