The Canadian Federation of Students has several national campaign committees that are open to all students within the federation. As SUNSCAD is a part of the federation, that includes all NSCAD students! The committees seeking members are:
- The Affordable Housing Campaign

Members can sign up for one or more campaigns that interest them.
