Social Affairs
The Social Affairs Department also emerged from the changes made in 2006, and is now overseen by VP Erica Bird. Social Affairs oversees all non-academic events occurring on and off-campus, planning various trips and activities for Bishop's students. Social Affairs also oversees the many clubs at Bishop's, and allocates funding to each club or society deemed deserving.
These student groups include:
Academic: Bishop’s Biology Club; BUES (Economics);BUGS (Geography); Chemistry Club; PSA (Political Studies)
Hobby/Interest: BU Ski and Snowboard Club; Ultimate Frisbee Club; Outdoors Club; Climbing Club
Lifestyle Clubs: BU Pride Alliance; Bishop’s/Champlain Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship, Gender Equity
Public Service: Bishop’s University Environmental Club (BUEC); Best Buddies, Big Buddies; Amnesty International
Each of the four (4) Student Event Coordinators under the VP Social is responsible for one event a semester, ensuring a full social schedule for Bishop's students. Past events include trips to Carnivale in Quebec City, "Fill the Stadium" at McGill University, Winter Carnival @ Bishop's, Grad Formal, and many others.

Famous quotes containing the words social and/or affairs:
“Growing up human is uniquely a matter of social relations rather than biology. What we learn from connections within the family takes the place of instincts that program the behavior of animals; which raises the question, how good are these connections?”
—Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)
“Since the affairs of men rest still incertain,
Let’s reason with the worst that may befall.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
