Student Union


           The Student Union (SU) at Virginia
           International University (VIU) is

           comprised of responsible and motivated
           members of the VIU student body who

           are dedicated to ensuring both student
           rights and student involvement in

           university activities. The SU serves to
           uphold the voice and opinions of VIU’s
           students and to initiate and implement policies governing their activities. In

           addition, the SU seeks to foster and support the ideas and wishes of the
           student body;   provide a communication network within the student body;

           engender cooperation among all student groups, clubs, and organizations; act
           as a liaison between the student body and administration, faculty, and staff;

           and nurture an atmosphere of community within the university.

           Though, the body has been elected very recently, it has been very active and
           responsive in addressing the concerns of the students. From being available to

           the students around the clock, to catering to the needs of the students, the
           student union strives to bring in new and creative ideas to make students’ lives

           more comfortable.
