SO. . .WHAT ARE THE USC ELECTIONS?

Every year, the University Students’ Council at Western University hosts a general election, allowing all undergraduate and professional students at Western, Huron, Brescia, and King’s choose their elected student representatives, including:
  • USC President
  • Faculty and affiliate council presidents
  • USC Councillors
  • Student senators
  • Board of Governors
  • London Youth Advisory Council representative
Student representatives amplify students’ voices to university administrators and all three levels of government, while working tirelessly to improve students’ experience at Western and our Affiliates

We are Democratic...

Why do the USC elections Matter anyway?

The USC is a democratic institution — we are an organization that is built for students, by students. That means that your voice is essential to shaping everything we do, whether it is student supports, programming, advocacy, or elections!

You have an opportunity to change our campus community by voting on February 1st & 2nd — your voice matters!
