Hi everybody. :)
Know anyone who you think would be a great Student Vice President or Director of events?
Bi-Elections nomination period is starting very soon and we're looking for a few ambitious members who want to be involved in the upcoming events in a big way.
Also,
The I.S.A. is now officially partnered in an event coming in November called "Stand-Up for Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women"
It is a 2-part event in collaboration with Canadian Roots and Stand-Up for Charity.
An exclusive production by World-Champion Hoop Dancer Terrance Littletent is included in the event in honor of the woman.
More is to be announced very soon so check back for updates. :)

P.S. Don't forget to nominate yourselves or someone you know during Bi-Elections Nomination Period. Please inform any executive or leave a private message here. Thanks :)
