Organizational Structure
Framework
Outline
This structure highlights how NUSU is governed and operated, placing Nipissing students at the center of all decisions. The Board of Directors provides oversight, sets strategic direction, and holds the organization accountable, while the Student Executives lead initiatives and advocate on behalf of the student body.
Supporting this work, the Executive Director and NUSU staff manage day-to-day operations and ensure continuity, working collaboratively to deliver events, services, programs, and representation for all students.
​
Being involved on-and-off campus is one of the best ways to make the most of your university experience. There are 4 Student Executive positions here at NUSU. The Executive and Board positions are elected annually and voted on by students.
​
We look forward to engaging with you throughout your time as a student and alumni.

Executives

The NUSU Executive Committee is entirely composed of Nipissing University students, elected by their peers. The Executive Committee is composed of 4 elected students who work full-time during the summer and part-time during the school year, in conjunction with the staff. They are responsible for the day-to-day operations of the corporation.
Their duties include overseeing the operations of the Student Union, as well as representing and advocating for the student body within the university, community, and even at a national level. Accountability is provided by the elected Student Board of Directors who debate, amend, and approve all major decisions proposed by NUSU Executives and Staff.
​
The Executive Committee has 4 positions; Vice-President of Campus Relations, Vice-President of Governance & Services, Vice-President of Communications & Awareness, and Vice-President of Student Life. These positions are paid positions and elections are held annually for students to decide whom they want to represent them.
