Students’ Union
Chapter 1 – The SU: Who are we?
The Students’ Union (SU) is your elected student government. We are committed to providing valuable
and relevant programs and services that can enhance your experience at the University of Calgary.
As an SU-sanctioned club, you are literally part of the SU. The SU values the role that clubs play in
enriching student life on campus. Clubs represent the tremendous cultural, social, and intellectual diversity
at the U of C, and play a vital role in creating and fostering a sense of community and belonging for
students.
For more information about the SU and how you can get involved with us, visit http://www.su.ucalgary.ca/
Clubs Committee
The Clubs Committee is the democratically-elected arm of the SU responsible for providing, promoting
and administering services and programs for clubs. The Clubs Committee processes and allocates funding
for clubs, enforces the SU Bylaw, and mediates problems that arise pertaining to clubs, when necessary.
Most importantly, the Clubs Committee is the voice of clubs in the SU. If you have any concerns about how
clubs are being administered or about issues pertaining to club activities, these are the people you can
turn to for change.
The Clubs Committee is chaired by the Vice President Student Life and consists of six members of the
Students’ Legislative Council (SLC).
Coordinator, Student Organizations
The Coordinator, Student Organizations (CSO) is a full-time SU staff member employed to administer
club programs by working with the Clubs Committee and the VP Student Life. The Coordinator, Student
Organizations is also one of the resources made available to clubs by the SU. The CSO may be contacted for
assistance and general advice on club policy, club events, Clubs Committee decisions or to refer feedback
to (i.e. kudos and complaints).
Henry Rosvick, the current CSO.
