2020 Services Updates
Your Student Association
Durham College Students Inc. (DCSI) is a newly transformed student association, servicing the more than 13,000 DC students exclusively. We put the needs of the student’s at the forefront – providing quality campus engagement and services for every full-time student. DCSI provides a range of services, from recruiting volunteers and developing radio shows on Riot Radio, our on-campus station; and, administration of the health and dental plan, and outreach services where we offer support, counselling, information, referrals, events, and training with a focus on four key areas: Women’s Issues, Pride + LGBTQ Centre, Sexual Health, and the Campus Food Centre. We are guided by our values – Good governance practices, excellent student services and inclusive engagement.
Our Vision
Governance
The foundation of DCSI is a strong governance structure. This is done by upholding the principles of transparency and accountability, and implementing these values into the core of every by-law and policy created.
Service
With services such as access to counselling and an extensive food bank, to name just a couple, DCSI is here to serve the needs of the students. We provide personal support and avenues for students to engage in campus life and excel both socially and professionally.
Engagement
Interaction is a key component to DCSI, which is why every student at Durham College is welcome to visit the Student Centre and start a conversation with us. In fact, students are encouraged to do so, as it is their input and ideas that will help DCSI flourish and grow. We aim to provide a respectful platform for all students to voice their opinions in an open, diverse and inclusive environment.
