What Exactly Does MASSU Do?

A good question.
    MASSU is one of many student unions active at the U of T, 
each of which represents the students of a different department 
or group of departments. In this case, the Math and Statistics 
departments, which also provide the Applied Math and Actuarial 
programs.
    Student Unions began life as tools for the students to 
collectively make their voices heard on important issues. Though 
we still retain that duty, the role of student unions here has 
gradually shifted.
    Essentially, our duties can be divided into three parts: 
political, social, and academic.
    As a political organization, MASSU has kept a low profile. 
We are a part of ASSU, which argues on behalf of lower tuition 
and longer refund periods. However, MASSU has yet to 
independantly work on this area, at least in this incarnation.
Socially we have been much more active, and will continue to 
be. Events such as movie nights, pizza socials, and whatnot are 
part of our plans, and we have already held some, either last 
year or this.
    Academically, we sell old tests. We also hold the 
occasional academic seminar. And, though we don't have much 
practise at it, we are here to help if you have an academic 
grievance.
    Naturally, as time passes our involvement and duties will 
continue to shift, grow, and change.
If you have other ideas for what you'd like us to be doing, 
stop by and tell us.
