Bureau of Sociology Students (BOSS)
BOSS is a student group for those fascinated by sociology and our current social challenges. It's open to all undergrads taking a sociology class.
Join BOSS to meet students in your current or completed courses. Not sure about your major? Members can help. You'll learn from students closer to graduation about their experiences.
BOSS holds regular meetings and coordinates several events throughout the year. Join them for movie nights, study groups and information sessions, mixers and pub crawls. They also organize group attendance at lectures and information sessions.

“I wish I had known about the sociology course union sooner! I knew when I applied to UVic that I wanted to go into sociology, but I didn't know anyone else who was majoring in it.
When I joined BOSS at the beginning of my second semester in my first year I made friends in the sociology department quickly and gained a lot of older student mentors who had lots of guidance and information regarding the degree, resources for writing papers and getting help, and many of them offered to study with me or to proofread my papers.
Joining a course union gives a group of people to center yourself around and gives you a sense of community that is really hard to find in first-year university.”
