Hey students!

It’s almost back-to-school season, and we’ve got some big news! Our annual welcome back event is happening Sept. 9-11 and things are looking a bit different; we’ve got a new name!

We’re excited to launch Roll Call, a welcoming event for the student body that celebrates community and is diverse, accessible, and represents the advocacy of the UWSA.

Next week, we’ll be releasing info about all the exciting events we have planned including what local acts are playing, food surprises and much more. Stay tuned by following us @theuwsa!

There’s still a chance to volunteer, too! If you’re interested, email Emily, Vice-President Internal at the vpia@theuwsa.ca

We can’t wait to see you on the front lawn!
