Role
The primary role of the Union is to provide a recognised representative channel between students and the University authorities and all full- and part-time undergraduate and postgraduate students of DCU are members of the Students' Union.
All DCU students are members and students of Oscail (DCU Distance Learning) can join for a fee. Members of the Executive remain members for their term of office even if they cease to be students. DCU's associated colleges have their own student representation.

Famous quotes containing the word role:
“The addition of a helpless, needy infant to a couple’s life limits freedom of movement, changes role expectancies, places physical demands on parents, and restricts spontaneity.”
—Jerrold Lee Shapiro (20th century)
“Women’s battle for financial equality has barely been joined, much less won. Society still traditionally assigns to woman the role of money-handler rather than money-maker, and our assigned specialty is far more likely to be home economics than financial economics.”
—Paula Nelson (b. 1945)
“A few [women] warrant our attention not because they have the answer but because they have rejected the mentality that insists there must be one answer. What makes them role models is not how much or how little they work, how many or how few hats they wear, but rather how well they understand, and accept, that for all rewards there will be commensurate sacrifice; for all gains, some loss; for any pleasure, some pain.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
