Tasmania University Union
The Tasmania University Union Inc. (TUU) is peak body of student representation for tertiary students attending the University of Tasmania. Established in 1899, the TUU represented only southern students for much of its history, but in 2008 it amalgamated the Student Association in the north of the state, now encompassing the entire university. The TUU holds annual elections from which students are elected to positions within the Union's Student Representative Council (SRC) and/or Board of Management (BoM), with positions in both the north and the south. The TUU is affiliated with the National Union of Students (NUS) and with the Council of Australian Postgraduate Associations.

Famous quotes containing the words university and/or union:
“In the United States, it is now possible for a person eighteen years of age, female as well as male, to graduate from high school, college, or university without ever having cared for, or even held, a baby; without ever having comforted or assisted another human being who really needed help. . . . No society can long sustain itself unless its members have learned the sensitivities, motivations, and skills involved in assisting and caring for other human beings.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
“So we grew together
Like to a double cherry, seeming parted,
But yet an union in partition,
Two lovely berries moulded on one stem.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
