University of York Students' Union
University of York Students' Union (York SU, formerly YUSU) is the representative body for the students at the University of York, England. It provides representation for all students, is the key provider of entertainment and welfare services, and operates a range of commercial ventures including a cafe bar and events & marketing department. Lewis Parrey is the current Union Affairs Officer (head of the union).
York SU is responsible for representing and campaigning for students to the university, for example over improved facilities such as a 24-hour library.
Tom Scott was elected as president under the persona of 'Mad Cap'n Tom', wearing the tradition pirate costume during campaigning, in 2008.
Most regular late night events are run by college Junior Common Room committees in the campus bars; however the union provides support to individual college Entertainments reps, through providing training, health and safety advice, and acts as a representative to university Catering and Bar Management, as well as to other venues in York city. The Union runs Late Licence events in The Courtyard on a Saturday night; and organises a variety of cross Campus events including the Freshers and Graduation Balls.
The Union provides an individual casework service, as well as running campaigns on specific issues such as sexual health or academic integrity.
The Union runs various "Student Action" projects which aim to provide student development, while giving something back to the local community. One of the major project it runs is an annual 'Kids Camp' which is a residential holiday for Underprivileged children, staffed by volunteers.
The Union funds and supports a number of sports clubs, which compete with other universities in leagues such as BUCS. It also organizes the annual Roses Tournament which takes place against Lancaster University.
The student union currently operates six venues, spread between five on Campus West and one on Campus East. For a short time during 2021 the union also operated an outside venue called The Lakeside Tap in order to remain open due to Covid restrictions. It has since closed indefinitely.
