The Association of College Unions International (ACUI)
The Association of College Unions International (ACUI) is a worldwide organization of students and staff working in the area of student union activities and programs at two-year and four-year colleges and universities. Region 14 is composed of colleges in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. Student leaders are encouraged to attend the annual fall regional conference to network with some of the outstanding professionals and students in our region. Students can also apply for I-LEAD, the International Leadership Conference. ACUI provides resources and "how-to" books for student activities and operations, as well as regional and international competitions in recreation and College Bowl. ACUI and partner organizations created the “Stop the Hate” campus hate crime prevention program for colleges.
