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.

Student Union-Spring 2017 Welcome Party

“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.”
