After a dynamic transition conference week at OUSA, the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance is ready to take on another year, with eight motivated Steering Committee members and a new Executive.
I am pleased to have been elected President for the 2010-2011 year and inspired to be working with such talented student leaders from across our OUSA member student associations.
I want to extend my sincere appreciation and congratulations to the outgoing President Dan Moulton, the supporting Executive, and Steering Committee. The leadership you provided and the achievements you worked for this past year have carved a path for us to follow and have truly made a difference in the lives of students across Ontario.
Also, I would like to extend my gratitude to the guest speakers who presented at the OUSA Transition Conference this past week, including representatives from the Ministry of Training, Colleges, and Universities, the Council of Ontario Universities, the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations, the Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario, and the College Student Alliance. Your dedication and contribution is appreciated.
This upcoming year holds much promise. Over the next twelve months, we will have the opportunity to contribute to the ongoing discussions on issues including quality enhancements, improving teaching and learning, implementing the Province’s internationalization strategy, and expanding early outreach initiatives in Ontario. I am very enthused about the potential for this upcoming year to engage with our membership and partners in the sector and continue to explore our shared vision for an accessible, affordable, accountable and high-quality post-secondary education in Ontario.
