Vote for levy increase, help to sponsor two SRP students

WUSC at Trent University is one of the levy groups on the Trent University campus. What this means is that our organization “[receives] direct funding from a student fee that is charged to each full-time undergraduate student with their tuition and ancillary fees” (ref. TCSA). Funding from the levy goes toward assisting the SRP within WUSC at Trent University in sponsoring a new student every year. During the TCSA elections in March 2010, the local committee hopes to request an increase in the levy so that we can sponsor two students for the next academic year. If successful, two students from countries abroad will have the opportunity to obtain a tertiary-level education in Canada. However, as with all requests of this nature, the TCSA needs to see that a certain proportion of the student body agree with this levy increase prior to funds being collected. Here is where we need your help.

Between now and Thursday, January 21st, WUSC members will be going around to collect signatures from students. Should we collect 700 signatures we will be eligible to make a levy request during the March 2010 elections. As a Trent University student, we hope you will support us after witnessing all of the great things that WUSC and its partner organizations are doing through education.

Here are a few things you should know before providing your signature:

1. WUSC at Trent University’s levy is non-refundable,
2. Only full-time undergraduate Trent University students can sign,
3. Student information is cross-checked with current enrollment register,
4. Students cannot sign more than once.

Also be reminded that we will also appreciate your vote for the levy increase at the March 2010 elections. Thank you!
