Lakehead University Student Union

About Lakehead University Student Union

The Lakehead University Student Union (LUSU) is the democratic voice
for the nearly 10,000 students studying at Lakehead University. Our
membership includes undergraduate and graduate students across
Lakehead’s two campuses in Thunder Bay and Orillia.

LUSU’s mandate is to ensure that all students can pursue academic
excellence as well as personal and social growth at Lakehead, free from
barriers related to income, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation,
family status, or ability. Through LUSU, students access a wide variety of
services, supports, job and volunteer opportunities, and social activities
through clubs and events.

The student union owns and operates two major businesses, as well as
several services key to students’ experience at Lakehead. The
businesses include The Outpost, one of the largest campus pubs in
Canada, and The Study Coffeehouse. LUSU’s core services include the
student Health & Dental Plan, providing affordable comprehensive
coverage of extended health and pharmaceuticals to thousands of
Lakehead students, the U-Pass, providing unlimited public transit to
students at one tenth the normal cost, and the student handbook.

LUSU is run for students, by students. Our democratic structure ensures
that every Lakehead student has a voice in how their student union
represents them. Through LUSU’s annual elections, students choose
their student leaders and decide on specific issues through referendum.
Students are also involved every day in LUSU’s decision-making by
sitting on committees, answering surveys, attending meetings, and
serving as student representatives.
