I. Operations

Based on consultants recommendations, review and implement the action

plan for the future of the Student Centre and Student Association.

Investigate future service options for students at the new and expanding

downtown campus (e.g. Downtown SA office, Tuck Shop, etc.). Formally review the executive structure of the Student Association,

including all executive positions, to ensure that we support our rapidly-

growing organization.

Develop formal structures for all of the Student Associations committees;

ensuring each committee has valid terms of reference (Programming

Committee, Clubs Committee, Students for Equal Access, Sustainability

Committee, LGBTQ Advisory Committee).

Facilitate a budget retreat process that receives input and final assent

from the Board of Directors for the first time in SA history.

Ensure all detailed executive reports in addition to minutes are posted

online to increase transparency

Work with both schools to review fee protocol.

II. Academics

With college students now represented by the provincial lobby

group College Student Alliance (CSA), work to ensure university

students are represented too (e.g. Ontario Undergraduate Student

Alliance).

At the next calendar review by Academic Council, lobby for study/review period between the end of lectures and the beginning of

exams to maximize student success. Work with UOIT's Provost Academic and Durham College's VP

Academic to look at how we can integrate the Student Association's

elected institutional VPs (VP University Affairs and VP College

Affairs) into institutional committees and councils. Strengthen our newly created Faculty and School Councils, giving

them the autonomy to levy their own fees like at other post-

secondary institutions. Develop a fee policy to govern this process.

Mentor the incoming VP Campus Life to build on last-year's successful event

line-up (e.g. Campusfest & Winterfest). Encourage a events that have high returns on investment.

Oversee smooth transition of the Womens Centre and LGBTQ office to the newStudent Services Building.

Ensure a successful completion of the SAs new basement library study space. Support Graduate Students by facilitating discussions with the university to

ensure they support grad students with an orientation week, just like they do

for undergrads. Engage alumni in all activities, especially large-scale events. With Chartwells contract ending soon, work with the university and college

administration to ensure the student voice is heard at all steps of the review

process.

IV. External Relations

Lobby regional transit to create a regular periodic direct route that goes

directly from campus to the GO Train and VIA Rail Oshawa Terminal. Liaise with provincial lobby groups to ensure maximum accessibility

and affordability of post-secondary education. Develop working relationship with municipal officials to ensure that

student concerns are being heard. Work with City Council, university/college officials, and outside

investors to ensure safe, accessible, and affordable off-campus housing

continues to be built near campus. Work with the university on laptop issues (e.g. insurance, buy-out). Working with the new housing office, have the SA develop resources to

educate students on housing issues and tenant rights
