Student life
It’s important to start your university life off right! Here are several programs to help you put your best foot forward:
- The Writing Students Union hosts readings and events throughout the year, as well as publishing an annual student literary journal, This Side of West (check it out on Facebook)
- Writing students also frequently write, edit and shoot photos for UVic's student newspaper, The Martlet, and host programs and events for CFUV, the campus radio station
- Our students also produce an online magazine, Saltern.
Student societies
Your students' society is an imporant part of your educational experience. Keep in touch with the UVSS here:
