Supporting Students: THE STUDENT UNION The main goal of the VIU Student Union is to support students. If students are having challenges with housing, healthcare or in other matters, the Student Union is there to help and guide them. The Student Union also supports all other student clubs and activities in organizing their events, working in conjunction with Student Affairs to help organize and volunteer for event set up. Their next big goal is to create a life coach system for students.
LET’S GO HIKING! The Hiking Club at VIU often hikes to Hemlock Overlook Park in Clifton and to Great Falls Park. Students love to see nature and refresh their minds.
CULTURE SHOW In a university setting ripe with diversity, culturebased events are favorites among the VIU community. Students especially love the Culture Show event as it gives them a platform to share their home countries’ music, food, and customs with their classmates and colleagues. This fun and educational forum fosters solidarity and understanding to create a community dedicated to promoting tolerance and peace. Spring 2014 University Magazine, VIU
