Student Union, Class Representatives, and Societies
The Student Union is the heart of student representation. Each semester, we recruit Class Representatives so your voice directly shapes student life and academic experience. Want to start a new society? We’ll help you set it up! Recent student-led activities have included board game night and arts & crafts study break. Established societies (e.g., Literary, LGBTQ+, Horror) run throughout the year and always welcome new members.
The Student Union at American College Dublin represents students both within the institution and externally.
Members of the Student Union are expected to . . .
- serve as a voice for the student
