We support and organise events and activities for USJ students and staff in order to build closer relationships between both parties.
Diversity and inclusion
We aim to create a community in which students embrace the value of diversity and inclusion. We organise activities that promote an inclusive culture on campus to help students value diversity and recognise that staff and students from different backgrounds and experiences can enhance whole-person education, and bring innovative cultural and academic insights to teaching, learning and research.
Leadership and social activities
We engage to organise social activities to foster the bonding among the university community and to promote leadership and service. The Buddy Programme is one of our signature programmes. 
Student government and clubs
We support every student government and club by providing advice and assistance on activity management, fund application, venue booking, etc. in order to enrich students’ university life.
Volunteer and civic engagement
Volunteer and civic engagement activities are organised for the benefits of the surrounding community which also enable students to critically reflect upon their service experiences.
To know more about our activities, please follow OSAA Facebook.
