Campaigns

CUSU campaigns on a wide range of issues, some affecting all students, some more relevant to specific groups. These include a number of autonomous campaigns who operate with an almost total degree of political freedom from CUSU to allow them to be more responsive to the particular needs of the students they represent.

Our campaigners are always keen to welcome volunteers in any capacity, whether you have a particular skill such as website design or finance managerment to offer or just sheer enthusiasm for a cause that means a lot to you. If you cannot find a representative to contact from a campaign, or would like to enquire about a cause not listed here, please contact the President.

Cambridge University Stands Up is an exciting campaigning week (30th Oct-7th Nov) during which Cambridge students will stand up for diversity and equality- taking a clear stand against discrimination and inequality. Find out more here.
