About the IBSU Student Union
The IBSU Student Union has been founded for nearly 50 years and is part of Soochow University’s community and artistic education center. As a public society formed by students of the international business department, the union is led mainly by the third grade students (juniors) of the department with the second grade student (sophomore) being the associates. Each year, the electoral affairs committee of the university holds a university-wide department student union chairperson election, with which the chairperson and the vice chairperson of the IBSU student union are elected by students of the international business department.

In addition to assisting the department in various related operations, the IBSU Student Union organizes a variety of activities to bring funs and the opportunities of making friends to students while they take a break from studies.
