By now, you should have probably heard about this campaign from booths set up on campus. If you have not, then here is your chance to get a bit of useful information. For the fourth year in a row, WUSC, through Local Committees, will be supporting the UN’s Millennium Campaign to ‘Stand Up Against Poverty‘. This is all in an effort to send a clear and urgent message to world leaders that we want to end poverty and inequality by 2015, which happens to be one of the MDGs that 189 world leaders agreed to adopt as part of the Millennium Declaration at the United Nations Millennium Summit in September of 2000.
How can you support? Head on over to StandAgainstPoverty.org to find out how you can take action now to end poverty! Supporting can be as simple as submitting your name or hosting public events to publicize the campaign. Poverty will only end if we take an active part in its eradication. Let’s start here.

By the time you see this you will probably be in the middle of your final exams already, but since this is not an important update, we hope you will let this one slide. Seeing as we too are students, it is no surprise that even WUSC members are busy with their studies.
Anyway, we hope that your diligent efforts into studying will pay off when you come to sit your final exams. Remember to take time to rest, eat and breathe when necessary. You have to keep up your energy if you want to do well.
WUSC at Trent University would also like to take this time to especially wish all the best to those members who are wrapping up their academic careers here at Trent University. WUSC certainly appreciates all of your contributions to building up the organization and the work we do. While this is not the final farewell, we hope that you will continue to support WUSC or the initiatives of similar organizations wherever life takes you.
Once again, all the best in your final exams. Thanks to student members, campus faculty, advisors and members of the community for another successful year within WUSC at Trent University.
