The Council exists of the four executive members along with six student-elected councilors-at-large. Any full-time student can run to be on the council. One of the six councilors is a nursing student, who is voted upon only by nursing students, while the other five councilors are elected by the remaining students. The names and contact information of our councilors, chair and secretary are listed below.

Council members also need your input when making decisions that affect your Union. If you are interested in getting involved, please feel free to contact any of the Executive officers of the Union. The Union has two committees that are open to all members: the Entertainment Committee is responsible for providing input about the Backlot and planning events throughout the year, and the Environmental Affairs Committee is responsible for undertaking various environmental initiatives on campus.
