I feel honoured that you would also select me to be featured in the AU[SU] newsletter, double wow!!!!” – comment from AU student award recipient

Just wanted to offer congratulations on the new AUSU site. It has a great new look and feel and seems very user-friendly… Great work to all who were involved in this initiative.” – comment from AU staff member following new website launch


“First of all great job on introducing the podcasts. I listened to them throughout last week and this week and it’s an awesome idea. I feel it definitely connects the students more with AUSU and the council members since we’re all spread across the country and abroad. Second, the updated website is fantabulous! The updated version looks amazing and super easy to navigate. Great job overall.” – comment from AU student by email


Thank you so much to AUSU for planning this event. It’s nice to connect with students since I’m a distance education student, really helped me feel like part of the school community.
