With routine work handled by the presidium, the Union is composed of 11 subordinate departments, including the Secretariat, Academic Department, Graduate Student Journal Editorial etc. Since its setting up, the Union has conducted a series of special activities in academic exchange, social practice, entertainment, physical training, etc.

The Forum has gradually become an important showcase of academic exchange by inviting Zhang Kaiyuan, Ma Min, Yi Zhongtian, Ge Jianxiong and other well-known scholars and experts from both inside and outside school to give lectures. The Doctoral Salon, a gathering of the talents, is a learning-exchange activity for graduate students by giving theme speeches and organizing cross-departments, interdisciplinary and cross-grades exchange activities. "Good Tutors in My Mind" and "Boya Students” activities is also hosted by the Graduate Student Council to select outstanding teachers and students around the university, which enjoy strong authority and popularity.

CCNU Students’ Association Union was founded in October, 1991. It is one of the earliest Students’ Association Unions among colleges and universities in Hubei Province and was nominated as “National excellent Students’ Association Union”. CCNU Students’ Association Union constructed a management system called “Four-Self” for college students, including “self-education”, “self-management”, “self-service” and “self-discipline”. Following the motto of CCNU—“Loyalty, Innovation, Morality, and Cultivation”, CCNU Students’ Association Union has launched many wonderful community activities and made great contribution to the flourishing campus culture.
