About
The University of Toronto Mississauga Students’ Union (UTMSU) represents over 14,000 undergraduate students across the University of Toronto Mississauga Campus. We are fundamentally committed to the principle of access to education for all, meaning our top priority is working to remove barriers to help meet the academic and social needs of all undergraduate students.
We do this by advocating for the rights of students, providing cost-saving services, and organizing educational programs and social events.
