The Student Council is the legal Board of Directors of the Dawson Student Union. Its role is to supervise the management and administer the business and affairs of the DSU. It offers opinions and advice to the Executive Officers on issues that concern students. The Student Council is composed of 20 voting representatives from the four Academic Sectors, as well as the DSU President, VP Finance, VP Academic Affairs & Advocacy, and VP Operations & Services. The Student Council also includes 6 ex officio non-voting members: 4 Executive Officers, the Chair, and the Administrative Director who is the Corporate Secretary of the Board. The Student Council may appoint 2 non-voting Advisors who are not DSU Members. The Student Councillors and Executive Officers are elected every Winter semester by the DSU Members (Dawson College students) to serve a one-year term that typically runs from 1 June following their election to 31 May of the next year.
