OUR USSOCIATES
STUDENTS SUPPORTING STUDENTS
Ussociates are a team of over 500 dedicated students who go beyond their academic journey to serve and support their peers.
They play an active role in NTUSU’s initiatives, from organizing welfare programs and driving student advocacy to managing U-shop that raise funds for financial aid.
Ussociates serve across NTUSU’s 18 committees, which are broadly categorized into 5 divisions - Student Activities, Policy, Finance, Secretariat, and Communications.
Guided by our Union motto—Voice, Service, Vibrancy—they are the driving force behind a more engaged, empowered, and inclusive student community.
