SASSH & Course Unions

SASSH

The Society of Arts, Social Sciences, and Humanities (SASSH) represents all undergraduate Faculty of Arts students at Toronto Metropolitan University. Founded in 2015, SASSH is a student-led group that was formed to promote community within the Faculty of Arts, to create an environment where arts students can thrive in their field of study as well to give them a stronger voice within Toronto Metropolitan University and the Greater Toronto Area.

The SASSH mandate is to represent, promote, and enhance the Faculty of Arts and all respective programs and to strive to protect the best interests of its members. They encourage activities and events that will enhance the educational, professional, and co-curricular experience to its members and contribute to the educational values of the University; encourage all members to become active participants in SASSH and University affairs and afford opportunity and a forum for the expression of opinions upon all questions bearing on or affecting their educational and co-curricular interests; and encourage equity and fairness for all members within the Faculty of Arts, as well as within the University and to ensure all members’ rights are protected as individuals in their education and co-curricular activities.

For more information on SASSH, or how to get involved, please visit their website: sassh.ca (external link)

Course Unions

Similar to SASSH, the Course Unions represent Faculty of Arts students. However, they focus on the representation of students from their specific program. Each Course Union hosts discipline related events, liaises between their students and their department and between their students and SASSH. They are responsible for making sure that the voices of their programs’ students are heard and that information from their departments that is relevant to students reaches their membership. Many Course Unions do this in collaboration with SASSH.

The Faculty of Arts has 12 Course Unions and they are for the following programs:

Arts and Contemporary Studies
Criminology
English
Environment and Urban Sustainability
Geographic Analysis
History
International Economics and Finance
Language and Intercultural Relations
Philosophy
Politics and Governance
