Upcoming event: General Meeting on the 21st of September!
Dear EASSU Community,
Welcome back! Whether you were involved with EASSU in previous years, joined us in past events, or are connecting with our community for the first time, we are happy to welcome you to the 2026–27 academic year.
The deadline to submit an executive nomination for first year reps has been cancelled; nominate yourself by the 21st of September! Nomination Form
EASSU is recruiting new executive members for the upcoming year. We are electing one Chinese Cultural Coordinator, one Japanese Cultural Coordinator, and two First-Year Representatives. If you are interested in getting involved, representing students, and helping us organize events and strengthen our community, we warmly encourage you to nominate yourself.
First year representatives will promote the East Asian Studies Student Union whenever possible in class, contribute to brainstorming and handling the logistics of EASSU events, and receive mentorship from other club members! This will be a year round commitment and may require effort during exam season and other busy times.
Cultural Coordinators will organize one or two events relevant to their country (Japan, China) per semester, with the goal of fostering a vibrant community of EASSU students, with up to $200 provided by EASSU per event.
We would also love to see you at our first General Meeting of the year on Monday, September 21, 2026, from 1:00–3:00 PM, held in the EAS Lounge, 14th Floor, Robarts Library. The election for our open executive positions and the launch of OnEast Journal will take place during the General Meeting.
During the meeting, you will have the opportunity to meet the EASSU team, learn about our plans for the year, hear from executive candidates, participate in the election, and connect with fellow students interested in East Asian Studies.
Please feel free to share them with friends and classmates who may be interested in joining EASSU.
We are excited to welcome everyone back and look forward to seeing both familiar faces and new members this year!
