In this first instalment of UOttaKnow, the Fulcrum explores the University of Ottawa Students Union (UOSU) and how undergraduate students can access its services or get involved.
UOSU Executive Committee
In the “highest turnout ever recorded for a by-election in UOSU’s history”, four seats on the executive committee have been filled, including Delphine Robitaille as union president and Daniel Thorp as communications commissioner.
Debates for UOSU Communications Commissioner and President will be held bilingually, moderated by the staff of the Fulcrum and La Rotonde.
“I was unfortunately uncontested as was the operations commissioner and we only had two candidates for another role. And I think that is tragic, truly. I want to see more student engagement. I want to see those numbers go up in the voting, but also people will only show up to vote if there are candidates.”
“I want to make sure that we’re continuing the work of the Communications and Engagement Committee that the union setup,” said the incoming UOSU president on his plans to improve student engagement.
