University of Toronto Students' Union

Founded in 1901, the University of Toronto Students’ Union (UTSU) is the official student government for more than 38,000 students at the University of Toronto. If you’re a full-time undergraduate student at the St. George Campus, you’re automatically a member of the UTSU. As a student government and independent not-for-profit organization, we operate autonomously from the University of Toronto administration. We strive to be a democratic, accessible, and member-driven organization, and all of our work is done with a strong commitment to equity. Your student representatives are elected each year as executives or directors to the UTSU Board of Directors. The Executive Committee, which consists of the President and five Vice-Presidents, reports to the Board of Directors. The UTSU works for you in many ways, but primarily through advocacy, events, and programs and services. We advocate for you by regularly lobbying the government and university, organizing public education campaigns, and supporting student-led initiatives. We organize major events for students, including Orientation/U-Fest, Frost Week, Unity Ball, Pasta Night, and more. And most importantly, we offer programs and services such as the Food Bank (offered every Friday at the UofT Multi-Faith Centre), the Student Aid Program, the Tax Clinic, our clubs funding program, the Resource Bank for student groups, and of course, the UTSU Health & Dental Plan. Welcome to the UTSU. We’re here to serve you, and we’d love for you to get involved. Please email either a member of the Executive Committee or your local representative (Board Director) to get involved with us!
