USO

SUSK supports its membership of Ukrainian Student Organizations (USOs) at post-secondary institutions across the country by offering ways to fund events, a toolkit to help maintain the USO’s presence on campus and in the community, and guidelines for creating a USO on campus. SUSK also provides resources on Ukrainian and Ukrainian-Canadian history, such as the Holodomor and Ukrainian Internment Camps in Canada, to bring awareness to Ukrainian culture and history in Canadian post-secondary institutions.

SUSK actively supports and empowers its associate member organizations, known as Ukrainian Student Organizations (USOs), in their efforts to educate and raise awareness among both members and non-members about matters concerning the Ukrainian-Canadian community.

With a rich history spanning over 66 years, SUSK was established in December 1953 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. SUSK is dedicated to preserving and advancing the Ukrainian language, Ukrainian and Ukrainian-Canadian studies, and raising awareness of Ukrainian and Ukrainian-Canadian culture.
