May 13, 2026
Hello everyone, and happy May!
Today is my last day as OUSA President, and I'd be lying if I said it didn't come with a lot of bittersweet emotions. Getting further involved with OUSA was one of the many reasons I sought the VP: Government & Stakeholder Relations role with the Wilfrid Laurier University Students' Union — and having the honour to serve as President has been a tremendous joy and privilege.
Welcome Conference 2026 Recap
Last week, OUSA wrapped our annual Welcome Conference (WelCon)! Each year, WelCon allows Steering Committee (SC) to spend a week with Home Office, get more familiar with OUSA, begin planning for the year ahead, and elect the Executives! This year, WelCon was hosted in Keene, where we were lucky enough to take in the scenery at Rice Lake in between the many meetings and training sessions.
