The Dawson Student Union represents Dawson's 10,000 full-time and part-time students.  The executive defends student rights and serves students on Collegial bodies, provides advocacy support, promotes student life, and oversees a number of progressive campaigns to bring about positive social change at Dawson and beyond.

We are governed by a set of By-Laws and Standing Regulations available at the bottom of the page.

All full-time students are members of the DSU. The students elect the Executive Council in the annual general election that is held in March. Students may also vote on referendum questions and by-law changes during these elections- the results of which are binding.
