We are your voice for what matters most to you!
We are officially chartered as an independent subsidiary with distinct finances and rule-making authority from the Waterloo Undergraduate Student Association (WUSA) via the Memorandum of Understanding Federation of Students Societies Agreement. WUSA and Science Society enjoy a rich tradition of supporting and advocating for undergraduate science students at the University of Waterloo. The WUSA/Society Agreement is a memorandum of understanding that exists to better establish a relationship that can continue to be increasingly more fruitful and beneficial to all undergraduate students.

Structure
The Science Society is broken into three main bodies:
- the Science Undergraduate Students
- the Executives
- the Board of Directors.
The Executive is responsible for representing the science students and Society across the University of Waterloo and to ensure policies and decisions of the Board of Directors and the voices of the students are addressed. The Board of Directors serves to oversee the Executive, approves the use of student money, enacts policies to more effectively run the organisation, and represents you most directly through your Departmental Club.
