Every union's challenges are unique. Tell us yours

What does it take for a student government to succeed?

We answer this question through research.

1

Governance Review

We assess your student government's structures and processes to ensure decision-making power stays firmly in students' hands.
2

Strategic Planning Support

We help student leaders set clear, achievable priorities that turn student needs into real, actionable plans.
3

Optimization of Services

We analyze how student government delivers programs and resources so more students can access and benefit from them.
4

Advocacy Campaign Planning

We equip student governments with the tools and strategy to advocate effectively to institutions and decision-makers on students' behalf.
5

Enhancing Extracurricular Economy

We strengthen the network of clubs and student groups so student government can better support campus-wide engagement.
6

Financial Analysis

We review budgets and funding structures to make sure student governments have the resources and financial accountability to deliver on their promises.

Any size

Whether you represent 500 students or 50,000, your governance matters. From small college unions to large university associations, we meet you where you are.

Any stage

We work with student unions at every stage — from newly formed associations to established organizations navigating complex challenges.

Anywhere in the world

Good student governance knows no borders and neither do we. We work internationally, bringing a comparative perspective to every engagement.

Case Study: University of Regina Student Association (URSA)

In 2025, the University of Regina Student Union (URSU) was dissolved by a student vote after consecutive financial deficits, lawsuits, conflicts with campus groups, loss of funding and access to campus spaces.

Students then voted to establish the University of Regina Student Association (URSA) in its place. The new association had to rebuild students’ trust and establish a foundation for future generations.

The Student Affairs Group assisted URSA in its early days by:

  • Creating a set of rules for elections;
  • Creating a framework for a judicial branch to ensure a balance of power within URSA;
  • Providing advice on improving transparency and conducting an efficient knowledge transfer between elected terms;
  • Designing policies for governance of extracurricular groups;
  • Making a thorough clause-by-clause review of all existing governance documents;
  • Writing a comprehensive report on structuring URSA’s staff, including re-imagining the position of a General Manager so its power doesn’t supersede the elected students;
  • Providing strategic advice on URSA’s future directions in the short, medium, and long term;
  • Designing training materials for future executive councils, staff, and other URSA representatives.
