Speech Bubble: Helped fight for student rights!

Advocacy

​"TDSA has helped give my voice and passion for change [and] support" - Nathan Barnett, Director of Inclusion, TDSA, Trent University Durham-GTA

Speech Bubble: They help the campus feel like a safe and welcoming place!
The TDSA is a member of the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance which represents the interests of approximately 150,000 professional and undergraduate, full-time and part-time university students at eight student associations across Ontario.

OUSA’s approach to advocacy is based on creating substantive, student driven, and evidence-based policy recommendations. Their professional government relations practices ensure access to decision-makers in order for member voices to influence provincial legislation and policy. 

OUSA is non-partisan and their policies are written and ratified by students. The TDSA collaborates with other OUSA affiliated schools to write a minimum of one policy per year where it consults with students on campus about tangible recommendations and evidence-based research. To get involved with the TDSA’s advocacy you can:

  • Contact the Vice President of University Affairs at [email protected] about working on OUSA policies and getting involved in research opportunities
  • Connect with the President at [email protected] about getting involved with the Organizational Review and Development Committee which is dedicated to reviewing TDSA policy
Reach out to our Directors of Inclusion or Health and Wellness at [email protected] or [email protected] about sitting on the TDSA Cares committee which works to bring marginalized student voices to the table for events

speech bubble: a safe place to talk and voice your student opinion
We respectfully acknowledge that we are on the treaty and traditional territory of the Mississauga Anishnaabeg. We offer our gratitude to the First Nations for their care for, and teachings about, our earth and our relations. May we honour those teachings. ​
