the board’s got your back! we shape your #sheridanlife.

The SSU Board approved a $430,000 gift by the SSU in 2021 to help the health promoters sustain their roles – and this year, they continued to support this cause with a $800,000 donation. This donation will help create two new positions (International Student Engagement Coordinator and an Off-Campus Housing & Community Resource Coordinator) on campus.

The Board of Directors helped advocate for and approve the New HMC Student Centre in Mississauga filled with new food services, club and athletics spaces for students to enjoy! This new building was created with student feedback every step of the way and has already become a staple in the #SheridanLife.

SSU donated $250,000 towards Student Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards and the Board approved 4 new ways to help students facing financial burden during the pandemic and has proudly continued to provide students with support.

In 2022, SSU introduced an expanded Health and Dental Coverage Plan to help support student needs. This included access to sexual health resources, new and repaired eyeglass coverage and even smoking cessation coverage.

SSU, Sheridan College and Sheridan Athletics worked with students to open three pop-up shops at selection Hudson’s Bay locations. This collaboration provided two Sheridan students with off campus work experience and all proceeds from this project will go to the Student Emergency Fund.
