The Student Union aims to serve, represent, and entertain the student body.
For the year 2023 - 2024, we envision a community in which each and every student feels that the Student Union supports their experience. Each and every student should feel that their voices are heard, interests are met, and activism is indispensable. We envision the Student Union as the guide for every student to reach the potential of their university experience. Our goal is to support all student leaders, organizations, associations, and entities to sustain and boost the AUC community's engagement while striving for a better academic and career-developing experience for all students. We envision a Student Union that supports every experience.
