The UASU is a big organization. It represents all undergrads at the University of Alberta, and advocates for things that are important to students, like predictable tuition and mental health support. The UASU also operates many businesses and services on campus, running a budget of more than $10 million annually, and employing hundreds of staff (many that are students!).

You might already be familiar with some UASU businesses and services like RATT or Safewalk, but there might be others you don't know about.
