What is the ULSU?
The University of Lethbridge Students' Union (ULSU) is an organization that is
in place to help make your experience at the U of L as rewarding and enriching
as possible. With nine permanent staff, the Zoo part-time staff members,
Convenience store part-time staff, five Executive Council members, and sixteen
General Assembly members, we work within the University community, but we are
not part of the administration. We are students, just like you. We go to
classes. We get stressed about midterms. We spend a lot of time studying.
What does the Executive Council do?
The Executive Council positions are annually elected and charged with
addressing the needs of students at the U of L.
We represent you to the local, provincial, and federal governments, as well as
University administration. We help provide services, like the Health and Dental
Plan, ULSU Food Bank, U-Pass, scholarships, bursaries, awards, funding, clubs,
fraternity’s, sorority’s, smart phone charging stations, food kiosks on 2nd
level of the SUB, a convenience store, on-campus catering, and your campus bar
and restaraunt - the Zoo. We also put on a variety of events; concerts in the
Zoo, Fresh Fest, Last Class Bash, awareness weeks, and we host an academic
speaker series, just to name a few. The Executive Council, General Assembly
members, and staff of the ULSU all work hard to make the U of L a great place
to get an education, but our ultimate purpose is to listen to you.
