Vote YES for WUSC, support the SRP levy increase

The World University Services of Canada (WUSC) at Trent University is a non-profit student group whose primary responsibility is the Student Refugee Program. This program offers refugees the opportunity to resettle, and at the same time resume their post-secondary education within Canadian institutions. It is the fastest mechanism to sponsor a refugee in Canada and so far the program has received more than 1,000 refugee students in universities all around the country. September of 2010 is the 30th anniversary of the SRP at Trent University, with currently around 3 students sponsored by Trent University students. All money from the levy goes toward supporting the first year expenses of the sponsored student.

Next year, WUSC at Trent University aims to sponsor two students instead of just one. The levy increase is one step to securing the funds that will allow us to support a second student. WUSC at Trent University would like to acknowledge and thank the ongoing support that the student body has given to the SRP through the levy, which has helped us bring amazing individuals to Trent University. This time we want to ensure that more amazing individuals get the chance to continue their education and fulfill their potential at OUR university.

We, therefore, need your support! If you are a Trent University student, please come next week and vote YES for WUSC in the TCSA Elections. Everyone has the right to education. Education changes the world!
