Next week, don’t miss Clubs Week, presented by BMO, Monday through Friday in Mac Hall. Check out hundreds of different clubs, explore your interests, and make some new friends. You can preview the whole Clubs list here, or just drop by Mac Hall North and South Courtyards all week.

And just a quick reminder about your SU Health and Dental Plan: if you don’t have alternate health and dental coverage, the SU’s got you covered. The deadline to opt-out, add family, or re-enroll is Sept. 19 and you can do so by clicking here. (Note that family must be added yearly). If you’ve already opted out, you’re set – you only have to opt out once during your university career.

I’ll be back soon but in the meantime, make sure you find and follow us @SUUofC on Instagram and TikTok.

Your SU President,
Naomie Bakana

Mac Hall Expansion Survey

Mac Hall Expansion Survey 2560 1440 admin

Hello UCalgary,

The fall semester is coming up fast! Here at the SU, we have been busy all summer getting ready for fall events like Welcome Fair, Clubs Week, and Pet Therapy.

But we have also been looking ahead and thinking about the future of your student building, Mac Hall. It’s been 23 years since the last significant expansion of Mac Hall, and it’s time to think about how Mac Hall can continue to grow and improve alongside a growing student population.

Right now, we are asking students to voice your opinions on a future Mac Hall expansion. Take the survey now, and enter to win one of two $100 VISA gift cards or one of 50 $10 Mac Hall food court vouchers.

I’ll be back soon with more details on our September events. In the meantime, make sure you find and follow us @SUUofC on Instagram and TikTok.

Your SU President,
Naomie Bakana

Welcome (or welcome back!)

Welcome (or welcome back!) 2560 1499 admin

Hello UCalgary,

Welcome (or welcome back) to campus! Hopefully, your summer gave you a chance to rest and recharge. This week literally kicks off the year – here’s what’s going on:

This Friday, August 29, look for the SU’s Kick-Off Checkpoint table at the south doors of Mac Hall beginning at 3 p.m. Say hi, pick up some swag and some snacks, and we’ll point you in the right direction to McMahon Stadium where you can cheer on the Dinos as they take on University of Regina Rams.

Next week, on Tuesday and Wednesday, we’ll be set up in Mac Hall right outside the SU office all day for a huge Welcome Fair from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Learn about SU programs and services, enter to win instant prizes (or bigger draw prizes), and make sure you drop by our sponsor tables to check out back-to-school offers.

First Year Students:

Is this your first year? I hope to see you at the Pep Rally on Thursday, and the SU’s Get to Know Us sessions on Thursday and Friday as part of your first year orientation. Make sure to register for these sessions and join us to learn all about the SU’s services, how to join clubs, volunteer opportunities, and ongoing advocacy work.

I’ll be back soon but in the meantime, make sure you find and follow us @SUUofC on Instagram and TikTok.

Your SU President,
Naomie Bakana
