The Student Unions group students of the same Campus, Faculty, School or Institute at USJ. The Unions are the principal catalyst for student life at the university. They coordinate student activities, festivities, and cultural, sports and social events. The Unions are at the daily service of the students; they represent the students before the university administration and public instances.
The Unions regularly organize conferences, debates and round table discussions on political, social and cultural subjects.
The Unions also have a role in organizing activities and festivities on the campuses.
