The Hellenic Society of Western University is designed to allow students of all backgrounds to gather and enrich their knowledge of Greek Culture, music, and customs. Events throughout the year include, but are not limited to, bowling night, dinner at restaurants, and even the NHSA Toronto convention in October. These events allow club members to gather under a common interest, and celebrate their love for Greek culture, promoting the Hellenic way of life.

Our goal is to cultivate Polish roots and traditions and to promote a sense of community by bringing together all people of Polish and non-Polish origin attending Western University. We encourage all members to meet new people and engage in social activities designed for their enjoyment and benefit, as well as foster a sense of pride for the accomplishments of the Polish people and the nation of Poland.

The Black Students’ Association (BSA) is a socio-political organization dedicated to supporting Black students at Western and the affiliate colleges, as well as the Black community in London.

The BSA organizes a variety of engaging events throughout the school year including its Fashion Show, SOUL (an annual gala that celebrates the talents and accomplishments of Black students on campus), Black Grad (highlighting the academic and professional accomplishments of graduating Black students), and countless other events focusing on fundraising for non-profit, professional development for Black students and discussion of social issues within the Black community.

Salut! The Romanian Students’ Association (RSA) at Western provides students with the opportunity to connect with others who share similar roots or interests in Romanian culture and customs. We host several social events throughout the year to celebrate important Romanian traditions like December 1st, Martisor, and more. In the past, we have also co-hosted EuroNight with other European clubs and held club dinners, bowling, and trivia nights. This is a great learning opportunity for every student looking to learn more about Romania and its people, regardless of their background. Join today!

Welcome! We are a group of young Catholic students committed to deepening our faith through fellowship, scripture, and prayer. We seek to glorify God by supporting each other in living out the fullness of life in Christ through the awesome teachings of the Catholic Church. We meet students where they are, encouraging open honest discussion about our culture and faith. Jesus said, Go therefore and make disciples of all nations (Mt 28:19). Our ultimate goal is to become the presence of Christ on campus, giving God permission to do what He wants to do in our lives. We explore many faith-related topics at our meetings, including salvation, sin, the Trinity, Mary, the Eucharist, and other Sacraments, the lives of the Saints, etc. We also discuss controversial hot topics such as homosexuality, contraception, and abortion, in the hopes that we can both understand our faith and be able to share it with others with greater clarity. We regularly engage in prayer through lectio divina (prayerful reading of the Scriptures), praise and worship, and other forms of prayer. We have fun activities such as laser tag, movie nights and games nights, men’s and women’s nights, and lots of parties with food. We also volunteer to give back to the London community, at locations such as St. Joseph’s Hospitality Centre and the London Food Bank. Feel free to reach out to us on Instagram @western.newman to see how you can get involved!
