The UWSA executives are the main decision making students on campus and have a huge say at what will happen with your money, time, and resources throughout the year. They are chosen in our annual general election in March and change every year. This year’s executives are:

Mohsin Khan
UWSA President
puwsa@uwindsor.ca
(519) 253–3000 Ext. 4500

Hello everyone, and welcome to the University of Windsor. My name is Mohsin Khan, and I have the honour to serve as your President of the University of Windsor Students’ Alliance. The UWSA represents all full time undergraduate students. We provide services, represent your interests and advocate on your behalf at the university level.

My job is to ensure that the overall operations and direction of the UWSA represents your will and your desires as members of the UWSA. The UWSA is your student union; with your help, we offer services such as health and dental coverage, an exam bank, the Womyn’s Centre, Walksafe, Academic Advocate, programming events including speaker series, as well as various band and pub nights at The Basement Pub in (you guessed it) the basement of the CAW Student Centre. We also fight for your rights through student committees, we advocate on your behalf, and we lobby both the provincial and federal governments with regard to student rights through the two lobby groups to which we belong – the Ontario Undergraduate Students Alliance (OUSA) and the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS).

I ask you to get involved, and be a part of your university community. Take advantage of the hundreds of clubs available on campus, as well as your respective societies. These organizations plan events and work closely with their faculties and departments to help you feel a part of the community here at Windsor. There is more to this university than just classes, I ask you to get involved, by being part of a club, by volunteering with the UWSA or even just by turning out for events. You will find that life long friends will be made and your university experience will be much richer and more memorable. When you graduate, this may just separate you from every one else. Your university experience would be unique to you.

The University of Windsor experience is truly unparalleled. No other institution offers such a diverse set of opportunities for you to grow, and test your limits, no other institution celebrates such a diverse membership, where differences are celebrated, and shared. I encourage you to take us up on this offer and join us in this journey for friendship, for memorable experiences, and for a better community.

Have fun this year, enjoy yourselves, and make sure to stop by the office; my door is always open.

Robert Woodrich
Vice President University Affairs
vpuauwsa@uwindsor.ca
(519) 253–3000 Ext. 4501

Hello, and welcome to the 2009–2010 academic year at the University of Windsor! I’m Robert Woodrich and for the next year, I will be your elected Vice President University Affairs. Together with my fellow Councilors, Executives, Governors and Senators, I will have the honour of representing you on behalf of the University of Windsor Students’ Alliance (UWSA).

My job is to work for you, the members of the UWSA, by representing you in academic matters and by protecting your rights as students. I will advocate for you off campus on both a provincial and federal level, and this will be done in many ways. I will work to actively craft policies, promote campaigns, travel to conferences on your behalf and work with the two lobby organizations to which the UWSA belongs, CFS (Canadian Federation of Students) and OUSA (Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance). Furthermore, I will provide direction for our Student Senators, who are responsible for shaping the University of Windsor’s Academic Policy, and sit on the UWSA’s External Policy Committee.

Being a student is hard work, so don’t hesitate to contact me if you ever need help appealing a grade, figuring out how to get involved or even just to chat. You’re always welcome to call or e-mail me, and my door is never closed to students (Room 211 on the 2nd floor of the CAW Student Centre in the UWSA office).

Have a great year and I look forward to serving you!

Ryan Osterberg
Vice President Administration
vpauwsa@uwindsor.ca
(519) 253–3000 Ext. 4502

Hey I hope everyone had an amazing summer and is as excited about this year as I am. To those of you coming to the University for the first time, welcome to the University of Windsor and to the Student Alliance. To those of you returning, welcome back and a small request, try and make out new students feel welcome. This is a going to be a great year, and I am going to work very hard to make sure you all have a great experience.

My name is Ryan Osterberg and I am the Vice President Administration for the University of Windsor Students Alliance, more commonly referred to as the UWSA. Together with the President and my two fellow Vice-Presidents, we work to represent students and insure you have a well rounded University experience. While the President and Vice President University Affairs look out for your Academic interests and lobby the government and University, I get to focus on the campus life aspects of our organization, which means I get to deal with all the fun stuff.

Some of the aspects of my portfolio include; organizing all of the large scale events on campus including Windsor Welcome Week; overseeing and working with Students’ Council and Board of Directors for the UWSA; overseeing many of the programs that the UWSA provides including Shinerama, Walksafe and Afro-Fest; and taking care of all the administrative responsibilities of the organization as a corporation.

The UWSA is most importantly, a student run and student driven organization that provides opportunities for all students to get involved. We need volunteers for all of our services. This will provide you with an opportunity to gain some great experience meet new people and contribute to your University community. In the fall semester we will be holding our by-elections for spots on Students’ Council. Make sure to keep an eye on our website, for all kinds of information and updates.

My door is always open and like many students I am hooked on my email. So come by my office or email me if you have any questions. I have lots of plans for this year but we are going to need lots of volunteers so don’t be afraid to get involved. Have a Great Year!

I also oversee the operations of the organization, which include the various services offered by the UWSA. I report to the Board of Directors with updates as to how your student fees are being used.

This will be a very exciting year for students to get involved in campus life. I will be working to represent students and to create a better campus environment. If you have any questions, ideas or would like to get involved please contact me either by e-mail, phone or just drop by my office in the student center.
