SMU SPORTS UNION (SSU)
ABOUT SSU
The SMU Sports Union (SSU) is the largest student constituent body in SMU. Established in 2005, SSU currently has over 2000 members in 32 sports clubs.
As a union, SSU strives to champion initiatives which promote the vibrant sporting culture in SMU and be a voice for the athletes to the school and SMU administration.
They aim to do this by fostering cohesiveness, enhancing welfare, and providing platforms for the entire SMU student population to interact via sports. This can be seen from their annual signature events as well as the events hosted by their clubs.
