Your voice starts here

The UWSA logo repeated in varying shades of our berry red. One logo stands out in white.

2024 Staff Enhancement Grant Stories

One of our favourite things in the UWSA office is getting a window into the lives of members through the Staff Enhancement Grant. Here are just a few stories from recent grant recipients about how they used the grant and what it meant to them.

To help us all understand each other better—and to offer staff a chance to have your voices heard—we’re launching a new blog and social media series featuring members’ own experiences and words.

Update February 6: Our first post amplifying the voices of contract staff is now live! Submissions are currently open for:

  • staff with disabilities and/or chronic illness (deadline: February 10)
  • Black staff (deadline: February 19)

What do you want to share about your experience working at UW? What should we all know about what you need to feel safe, empowered to grow, and able to thrive?
