AUC’s student union: a success or an epic failure?

Abstract

In The American University in Cairo, many student organizations have been created over the years. Some made it up to this moment, others changed their activities, and many closed their operations completely. Only one organization has made it from its very beginning till now, but, is it really successful? For over 70 years, the Student Union, has survived in The American University in Cairo, A-U-C. The SU was originally formed with a mission to unite and serve students. It started with a group of students filing petitions until it became the largest student-run organization on-campus serving students in different aspects such as entertainment, activities, and petitions. Although many people would assume that this is a sign of success, others see otherwise. A-U-C’s Nadine Farrag reports.
