A working partner for a particular moment
There is more than one way to move your student union’s work forward.
The Lab is our developing home for practical tools, learning and connection. Alongside it, we’re developing focused support for an idea you want to explore, a decision you want to prepare or a disruption you need to work through.
Choose a starting point
You do not need to have a finished brief. Explore a route, then prepare a short note about the work you have in mind.
Explore the purpose, research and choices behind a priority. Prepare a decision, develop a workable plan or bring extra capacity to an agreed piece of work. Board engagement, parliamentary support and facilitated conversations can fit here too.
Work through leadership changes, financial concerns, disputed decisions or conflict. Focus on a clearer picture, workable responsibilities and the next steps your organization can own, alongside specialist advice where needed.
Try eleven practical prompts for one unfinished priority. The Leadership Continuity Check and fictional sample Brief show how to connect a decision, a source and a next action. No account is required.
Knowledge for the movement
Our developing research programme explores the experience of student leadership: wellbeing, learning, relationships, economic opportunity and what carries across terms.
Which route fits?
Lab membership is the developing route for recurring resources, learning and connection. Consulting is for a particular agreed piece of work; stabilization is for a disruption that needs a focused response. They complement one another and have separate scopes.
For a general enquiry, email support@studentunionleadershiplab.ca with a brief description of what you want to work on. Please leave confidential personal, employment or financial records out of an initial message.
This site does not book an engagement, confirm immediate availability or provide emergency or on-call coverage.
