VP Orillia

LUSU’s VP Orillia is in charge of the corporation's operations in Orillia. The position is the Orillia equivalent of a hybrid between the VP Advocacy and President, putting them in charge of Orillia's student life and advocacy, as well as leading campaigns, events, and community relations at LU's Southern Ontario campus. The VP Orillia also does their best to support students studying on any other LU campuses outside of the Thunder Bay area.

Meeting 2-4 times per month, student Directors elected in both Thunder Bay and Orillia gain the experience of a lifetime while overseeing a $5 million+ corporation.
