Student Union

​The Nipissing University Student Union (NUSU) is the official body representing the student point of view at Nipissing. All students, both full-time and part-time, at both the North Bay and Muskoka Campus, belong to the Student Union and fund the organization through their incidental fees, payable at registration. As part of its ongoing commitment to academic excellence and social growth, NUSU deals with many aspects of student life on campus, including the academic governance of the university and the social events. Student awareness campaigns, dealing with such topics as AIDS, alcohol and drug use, safe sex, violence and accessible education are run annually. During the first week in September, Frosh Week activities introduce first year students to the university and to the City of North Bay. Frosh Week culminates in Shinerama, a national student fundraising event on behalf of the Cystic Fibrosis Canada.

NUSU also puts on live concerts, out of town trips to theatrical or sporting events, panel discussions, regular social activities and so much more. NUSU also sponsors and organizes a Food Bank on campus for any student in need.

NUSU’s political business is conducted by the Board of Directors, which meets throughout the academic year. NUSU’s By-laws and Meeting Minutes are available from the NUSU offices. The Board of Directors is composed of five executive officers, 4 of which are elected each spring (President, Vice-President External, Vice-President Student Life, and Vice-President Internal) and the General Manager. There are 12 Delegate representatives who are elected each fall. These positions represent students in the following specific areas of study: Humanities, Science, Social Science, Muskoka Campus, Schulich School of Education, Concurrent Education, Graduate Studies, Residence, Nursing, Business, Physical Health and Education, and Aboriginal Students.

NUSU also has a number of votes on Academic Senate and the Board of Governors, and representation on most of the Board and Senate Committees. NUSU chooses all of these representatives from among its NUSU Board of Directors members. NUSU’s offices are located in the Student Centre. The phone number is (705) 474-3461, ext. 4440 (administrative office), ext. 4489 (President), ext. 4303 (Vice-President External), ext. 4302 (Vice-President Student Life), ext. 4409 (Vice-President, Internal).
