About Us
The Society of Linguistics Undergraduate Students (SLUGS) is the course union representing students in linguistics at the University of Toronto’s St. George campus. Our membership consists of all U of T undergrads who are currently members of the Arts & Science Student Union (ASSU) and enrolled in any linguistics (LIN/JAL/JLP/JLS) course and/or program.
SLUGS aims to represent all undergraduate linguistics students at the University of Toronto and to encourage them to take an active role in their academic community. Currently the SLUGS exec team consists of two co-Presidents, one Secretary, two Academic Events Coordinators, one Social Events Coordinator, one Technology & Communications Coordinator, one Design Coordinator, and one Reading Group Coordinator. All executive positions are elected by members of the course union. SLUGS is regulated by the By-Laws of the Society of Linguistics Undergraduate Students.
SLUGS is a course union affiliated with the Arts and Science Student Union. ASSU represents the full-time undergraduate students in the Faculty of Arts & Science at the University of Toronto.

The most direct way to get involved is participating in our events! It’s a great way to get to know your undergraduate linguistics community and also have some fun.
We hold a variety of academic and social events throughout the academic year that are open to all linguistics students! Please follow our announcements on Instagram and Discord for more information.
Lastly, we hold a general election for the SLUGS executive team every April, as well as subsequent by-elections throughout the year if any positions are vacant. We release information about the elections on our socials as we approach the end of each academic year — so stay tuned!
