The Acadia Students’ Union (ASU) has many ways for students to get involved and develop their leadership skills. You can get involved in two main ways:
-
ASU Governance: Students can run for various positions within the ASU, such as a Councillor for your faculty or even the ASU President. These roles are part of the student government.
-
Internal Organizations: You can also volunteer with various groups and initiatives supported by the ASU. These organizations, like the ASU Food Cupboard, offer hands-on experience in program management and community service.
