Although I’d prefer to be enjoying myself in Halifax, at the moment, I am typing away at my laptop’s keyboard as I TA a Friday evening Lab (Basics of Media Writing, in case you’re interested).
I hope my colleagues are having a productive time at the CASA (Canadian Alliance of Students Association) Annual General Meeting and in the interim, I’m working hard to ensure that my OUSA Campus Coordinator, Madeline MacIsaac, and I are prepared for our rapidly approaching Lobby Conference! Many of our students live in the riding of Provincial Finance Minister Hon. Dwight Duncan, not to mention long-time MPPs Bruce Crozier and Minister of Economic Development and Trade Hon. Sandra Pupatello, so we look forward to a productive lobby effort on behalf of students.
Our members were recently engaged in a town-hall meeting by University of Windsor President Dr. Alan Wildeman where issues such as quality of education and student success were discussed, and there is excitement to learn of the results of the first-ever Canadian Student Survey.
Finally, I’m excited about the newest edition of Educated Solutions, and I think that Alvin has done an excellent job in putting that together for us. Of course, I’m happy to see that my official photo didn’t make it to print!
