Area Representatives Council

Area Representatives are members from across the University who’ve signed up to liaise between the UWSA leadership and staff in a given department or area. They meet monthly to get updates from the UWSA president, raise issues from their department, and learn from guest speakers.

Area Reps meet at noon on the second Thursday of each month. All members are welcome at open meetings once each term.

The next meeting will be September 12.
