The UCC Students’ Union is a students' union in University College Cork, in Cork, Ireland. It is established in accordance with the charter, statutes and regulations of the Governing Body of the college as the sole representative body for UCC students. Each student is automatically a member by virtue of a student levy. The Students' Union oversees the running of several constituent committees (the Media Executive, Societies Guild Executive and the Clubs Executive) that oversee the running nearly all of the extra curricular activities for students in UCC. The Student Council of the Union also acts as the Student Parliament for UCC, and represents students on a number of committees including UCC's Governing Authority, Academic Council, and externally at national bodies such as the Union of Students' in Ireland (USI). ==History== The UCC Students' Union was established in 1973, and replaced a body known as the Students' Representative Council. While different years have seen their role in different ways, the core principle of the students' union is to represent and support their members at every level within the university, and outside on at such levels as they deem necessary, and to ensure that a quality education and social experience is provided for them throughout their University life. Current Union records date from 1938, and, while the exact establishment date is unclear, the 'Students' Representative Council' (otherwise known in Irish as ''Comhairle Teachta na Mac Léinn'' CTM) was established around 1908, presumably in line with the 1908 Universities Act. In its early years, all officers served in a voluntary capacity. The first full-time officer of the Union came with the introduction of a paid President in 1940, and expanded over time to 4 full-time officers in 2004. The most recent addition to UCCSU's full-time officers is a 5th sabbat, a Commercial & Communications Officer. The Union's Centenary in June 2008, was marked with a visit from the Minister for Education and Science, Batt O'Keeffe who joined President Kris McElhinney and officers for the opening of the new Union offices at 54 College Road, and launch of their Students' Union Common room project which was to be opened on the site of the old stables in September 2008. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「UCC Students' Union」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
