Cardiff University Students' Union (Welsh:Undeb Myfyrwyr Prifysgol Caerdydd) is the Students' Union for Cardiff University and is located in Cardiff, Wales, UK.
CUSU supports over 200 student societies and 60 sports clubs with more than 10,000 members.
The Students' Union is also the recognised voice of students at Cardiff University, joining students in campaigning about the issues important to them. The trading subsidiary of CUSU, Cardiff Union Services Limited, manages a purpose built facility in the centre of Cardiff and operates cafes, shops, bars and events that help fund CUSU’s charitable activities. CUSU is based on Park Place and at the Heath Park campus, employing over 100 permanent staff and 300 student staff.
The Students' Union is a democratic membership organisation. The Students' Union is led by groups such as Elected Officers, Campaign Officers, Student Senate, Scrutiny Committee and NUS delegates.
Elections for these positions are held twice each year:
Full-time Elected Officers - A group of 7 full-time paid individuals who each have areas of responsibility, from being the Students' Union President to Societies and Sports, Welfare and Education, and of course Heath Park and Postgraduate students. These officers are elected for a year, and either take a year out of University to do the job or do it after they graduate.
Part-time Campaign Officers - These are 9 student volunteers who campaign on areas that matter to you alongside their studies. This includes representing student groups such as Women, LGBT+, Black and Ethnic Minorities, Welsh Language, International Students, Ethics and the Environment, Students' with Disabilities, and Mature students.
The Elected Officer positions consist of a President and six Vice-presidents.
Part-time elected officers include the Ethical and Environmental Officer, LGBT+ Officer (Open), LGBT+ Officer (Women's), International Students Officer, Mature Students Officer, Students with Disabilities Officer, Women's Officer, Welsh Language Officer and Black and Minority Ethnics Officer.
