About Us

The Glendon College Student Union, or the GCSU, has been established to contribute and enhance the educational experience and social engagement of the members of the Glendon College. We strive to safeguard the rights of the individual students regardless of how they identify, while further promoting and encouraging academic and intellectual pursuits, and social consciousness. We set our foundation in effectively representing the student body and its interests, by serving as an advocate and a liaison both within the Glendon College and York University communities and with individuals and organizations beyond them.
