Prepared For Progress

Canadian Alliance of Student Associations

To better understand your needs and help Feds fulfill its mission, the implementation of a long-range plan and campus wide focus groups has  been put into action. These exercises will most certainly help provide valuable feedback to Feds and offer an alternative forum for students to have their say.

This process is only the beginning of a much larger movement whose final product will truly help guide future executive, councillors and staff in making stronger, more representative and engaging decisions.

Over the past year, the Federation of Students has celebrated many major successes and transformations. Some great projects are well on their way to completion and most importantly our long term visioning is helping Feds gain some valuable information about our current environment and future opportunities.

In the University community we have seen a major changes in leadership as over the past few months. Feridun Hamdullahpur has brought a refreshing student focused approach to the Vice President Academic and Provost portfolio, Catharine Scott Associate Provost Student Services has retired after years of service, and Heather Westmoreland has taken over as Director of the Student Life Office. These shifts in conjunction with many others are making big waves on our campus.

I have had the privilege of sitting on countless committees, councils, and boards that represent a wide variety of student interests, and as your President I’ve proven myself to be a vocal proponent for you.

The months ahead will truly be a monumental time for us at Waterloo, and I look forward to working with you in exciting and collaborative ways to make Waterloo a community we are proud to call home.
