April 2023: Sheridan Student Union Recap
Thanks for a great year, Bruins!
We've had a blast this past term, and we're looking forward to all of the fun things we have planned for the summer. As we say goodbye to April, we wanted to take a moment and celebrate some of our biggest milestones and successes from this past month! We started the year strong (with our biggest welcome week yet), we ended the year with big events, important community work and memories to last a lifetime.
From supporting the Face It Club shine a light on World Autism Awareness Day to celebrating Pride Week with fun games and coffee chats, this month was all about bringing awareness to the things that matter most to students (and having fun along the way!).
Sheridan Student Union is proud to share company-wide wins over the last month and recognize the talented and hardworking student leaders who make the SSU team all that it is. Find out what the SSU has been up to, check out the closer look at our Annual Sheridan Life Gala, and celebrate all the staff who made an impact this year.
