Students` associations in Canadian Concordia University

Abstract

Canadian students’ self-government is more developed than in Ukraine. It is possible to notice the difference even at comparison with Concordia University which is a prominent and unique institution in Montreal. Some of the functions of Concordia Students’ Union are the following: it represents Concordia’s 30,000 undergraduate students; defends student rights and serve students on University bodies; provides academic services like the Advocacy and Tutoring Centres; promotes student life, hosting Canada’s largest Orientation, the best parties in Montreal and creating a diverse and interesting speaker series; supports Concordia by fighting for and upholding sustainable initiatives and accessible education.
