College Student Alliance

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The College Student Alliance (CSA) represents students in Ontario community colleges.

The College Student Alliance (CSA) is a member-driven advocacy and student leadership organization which proudly serves Ontario’s college and college-university students. The CSA currently represents 16 colleges and 22 student associations with over 109,000 full-time student members throughout the province of Ontario.

The CSA was founded in 1975 as the Ontario Community College Student Parliamentary Association/l'Association parelmentaire des etudients des colleges communautaires (OCCSPA/APECCO).

CSA’s main competencies include capacity building for its members, effective student advocacy and student leadership training.

The CSA has taken ownership on a number of important student issues, most notably tuition increases and transferability. Striving to influence policy, the CSA uses a number of avenues to create position and research papers, forge important working relationships with key organizations, and launch communication and lobbying campaigns with the support of the membership.

Members enjoy access to an exclusive online intranet with priceless information to help them do their jobs. Furthermore, with the pool of knowledge from the Secretariat, the Board of Directors and CSA partners, members also receive support services to answer any questions that may come up during the term as elected student leaders.

In addition to the knowledge base, members also benefit from networking opportunities through use of email listservs, online forums and quarterly general assemblies. These assemblies are where the CSA trains student leaders. It welcomes important speakers on a range of topics that are vital to the success of student associations. The CSA prides itself on constantly improving its delivery of these events to make its members the best possible student leaders they can be.
