Welcome to the JISU!
The Justice Institute Students’ Union was formed in 2019 and is a not-for-profit organisation for students and is run by students.
Just like other students’ unions, JISU’s goal is to make the lives of its members (that’s you!) better both on and off-campus. We do this by:
Advocating to make post-secondary more affordable and to uphold the rights of students;
Providing services that save our members money and support their success;
Bringing members together through events to support a strong and healthy student community.
