How SUS Works
The Science Undergraduate Society operates a $220k + budget and is governed by policies evoked by the AMS and the Science Student body. If you want to learn more, you can find the attached governance documents as well meeting minutes from your elected student body.
The UBC Science Undergraduate Society (SUS) aims to provide science students with academic resources, professional development opportunities, and a wide range of events to improve their experience in the Faculty of Science. SUS comprises of 8 portfolios, each led by an elected Executive who is tasked with overseeing an area of SUS’ operations that cater to its internal structure, or those that directly impact students. Council, composed of the Executives and elected Representatives from each department, functions as SUS’ decision-making body and acts as a platform for students to speak on issues that concern their academic experience. Each Departmental Representative and Executive is elected by their peers during our Fall Elections and Spring Elections respectively. Every science student is a member of SUS and can get involved through voting, participating in Elections, or by volunteering with us!
