Who We Are

Founded in 1961, the Science Undergraduate Society (or SUS) aims to promote the academic, physical, & social well-being of Science Students. Supporting over 9700+ Science Students and over 50 Science clubs, every science student is a member of SUS.

What We Do

Through SUS, we aim to create and foster a sense of science community and continually promote good relations with other communities on campus. Throughout the year, dozens of events are run to in an effort to support our peers here at UBC.
