Undergraduate Student Association

What is SASA

SASA is Carleton University’s Sociology and Anthropology Student Association. We are a student-run society that works with the department to advocate for the needs of our undergraduate community.

We aim to create a space at Carleton University for undergraduate students passionate about sociology and anthropology to express themselves and connect with others who share their interests. We host frequent events to engage students and allow them to connect in a casual setting.

As a team of mostly upper-year students, we hope to provide one-on-one support to new students where we can. Whether you’d benefit from help navigating campus resources, understanding a course outline, support during the midterm and finals crunch, or you’re just not sure where to go, we are more than happy to help. You can get in touch during our office hours, come up to any of us during an event, or reach out over email, Instagram, or Discord (links below).

During the 2025/26 school year, we will be hosting a mix of both academic and social events, creating a space for community and connection in person and online, and continuing to keep you up to date on relevant happenings in the department. Some of our academic events this year will include a Master’s info night in the fall, and a repeat of our popular Co-op and Honour’s Thesis info nights in the winter. For socials, you can look forward to a clothing swap, game and move nights, and an arts and crafts event, among others. As always, we will continue to host weekly office hours and study sessions before midterms and finals. Dates and locations for all events will be made available on Instagram and our monthly newsletter.
