Welcome back, students! The Camosun College Student Society (CCSS) has been busy this summer planning for the upcoming school year. The CCSS represents the interests of more than 8,000 students at both the Interurban and Lansdowne campuses through advocacy, services, and events.
Camosun students have access to many services provided by the CCSS and the Canadian Federation of Students.
For hungry students who are strained financially, there’s a student food bank located in the Fisher foyer at Lansdowne and in Campus Centre 111 at Interurban.
We also offer funding and support to those who wish to start their own clubs on campus. For students on campus in the evenings, there is the Walk Safer program, with volunteers available to escort students safely to their destinations.
For those with the travel bug, Camosun students can sign up for the internationally accredited International Student Identity Card (ISIC). The ISIC provides full-time students with discounts on transportation and accommodation while travelling abroad. These are only a handful of the great services provided by the CCSS.
Getting involved with the student society is a great way to make friends, network, and build skills. Camosun students are able to sit on a number of CCSS committees with voting rights, including Campaigns and Advocacy, Special Events, Organizational Development, and Finance.
There are also different constituency groups that students can be a part of, such as Pride, the First Nations Students Association, and the Women’s Collective. These groups plan events, work on campaigns, and provide safe(r) spaces for students on campus.
Finally, the CCSS is always looking for volunteers to help out at our events throughout the year.
If you have any questions about the services we provide or if you would like to get involved, please feel free to stop by our offices and chat, or send an email to external@camosunstudents.org.
We wish all Camosun students a happy, healthy, and successful semester!
