At JMSU, your voice matters. From surveys and forums to referenda and feedback tools, every student has the opportunity to shape their experience. Get involved in wellbeing, sustainability, sports, equity and student life initiatives or connect directly with course and school reps, elected officers and assemblies. Your ideas don’t just get heard; they spark real action and lasting change across campus.

What’s the Difference?
Think of Student Voice & Governance as the decision-making hub — where students shape policy, set priorities, and hold the union to account. This includes formal meetings like the Annual Student Members Meeting, the Student Forum, and Referenda, where your voice can directly influence the direction of JMSU.
Student Life & Community Forums, on the other hand, are the spaces for conversation and collaboration. These forums and assemblies bring students together to share ideas, tackle issues, and work on projects — from wellbeing and sustainability to sports, societies, and equity. They’re about connecting with others, building community, and creating change from the ground up.
