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.”
