Come by our offices on December 2 between 11:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. to chat with UWSA President Lisa Habel. Whether you need help understanding a policy, have ideas for UWSA initiatives, or just want to understand what we do here, bring your questions and ideas, and we’ll provide the coffee, tea, and snacks!

Can’t make it? Lisa will be holding drop-ins regularly, including virtual ones. You can also drop us a note in our online Suggestion Box.

The 2024 Winterfest Handmade Market (formerly the UWSA Craft Show & Sale) takes place December 3 and 4 in the Student Life Centre, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day.
