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.
“I felt happy, seeing the old students
come from their winter break and the
way they welcomed new students,
making them feel at home. Adding
beauty to the event, many scholarship
awardees were also present,
spreading smiles.”
-Surya Varun Jaihind
