Brock University Students' Union (BUSU), which was established in 1970, has long served the needs of students through impactful initiatives such as comprehensive access to healthcare benefits and public transit. Additionally, BUSU offers employment opportunities to hundreds of students on campus, hosts year-round events, and facilitates over 130 student clubs.
BUSU is overseen by an elected Board of student representatives. See more about BUSU Governance here.
Our Mission
To foster an ever-improving Student Experience that is transformational, enriching, and empowering.
Our singular focus at BUSU is to create the best student experience ever. However, the word best leaves us undefined, so we will instead improve the student experience every day to achieve being the best.
The student experience encompasses the personal, social, and educational journey we all go through at Brock. Our BUSU student experience will transform students to be active change-makers in our community. It will enrich their lives through engaging events and programming while providing the necessary resources for empowered advocacy, public involvement, and active participation in internal governance.
Lastly, the BUSU student experience will empower students to pursue personal and professional growth to create life on their terms.
Vision
To cultivate a generation of students that intently shape our world. The ultimate work of BUSU is the realization of our vision. All our efforts, objectives, and resources aim to foster generations of students with the mindset, skillset, and tools to be transformative global citizens. During their time at Brock and much after, students continue to intently create a positive impact on the world that echoes into future generations.
Objective
We achieve our mission by: deeply understanding the evolving needs of students; enhancing the educational, social, and personal lives of students; advocating on behalf of and with students, internally and externally; providing resources, services, and support to enrich the student journey; fostering welcoming and inclusive student communities.
Values
We are diverse, inclusive, and equitable. We understand that people have unique lived experiences, seeing and thinking about the world through different intersectional lenses. We’re leaders. We set the pace, stand up for what we believe, and won’t settle for mediocrity. We’re accountable. Trust us to be transparent and always prioritize the needs of students. We’re fun. Expect us to bring the excitement and show up with enthusiasm every day. We’re here to do good. We do the right things for the right reasons and uphold the highest of integrity.
