Lang Student Union

The Lang Student Union (LSU) gives Lang students a powerful voice on the university campus. Serving as a liaison between faculty, administrators, and students, LSU seeks to enhance community development, student empowerment, and information dissemination. During the semester, LSU holds weekly meetings to review, approve, and fund proposals generated by students and student clubs. The meetings operate by consensus, meaning every decision must be passed unanimously. Rather than maintaining hierarchy through an executive board, LSU relies on facilitators who rotate leadership of the weekly discussions. The annual budget for LSU is drawn from the activities fee paid by students. Because these funds are intended to support undergraduate life at Lang, students decide how to spend them.
