Вітаю! Welcome to the Student Publication, SUSK’s quarterly student-run magazine designed to showcase UkrainianCanadian students across the country. I hope that everyone had a good sviato, whether you celebrated in December or January! SUSK and our member organizations have quickly delved into the second semester. Many of you are aware that our former National Coordinator, Connor Moen, moved on from SUSK. We again would like to thank him for his contributions over the years and wish him all the best in the future. We are now excited to welcome Illya Mykytyn as our new National Coordinator. Illya comes to SUSK and UCC with a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Toronto. He has worked for the Canadian Ukrainian Immigrant Aid Society and as a freelancer for Vice Media. With a passion for advocacy, Illya joins us with a wealth of knowledge of the post-secondary student experience. We look forward to working with Illya. Our USOs have also been holding exciting events to awareness campaigns, despite midterms looming in the background. From the University of Manitoba, University of Ottawa, to McMaster University, students have been participating in the Postcards for Prisoners campaign. With many USOs sending over 70 postcards, we are very excited to be involved in this effort. We encourage more USOs to be involved! SUSK will cover costs of the postcards and postage fees. Lastly, we are happy to announce that SUSK is partnering with the Holodomor Research and Education Consortium for the upcoming Congress in Winnipeg! A component of this year’s Congress will focus on raising awareness on the Holodomor, as well as how disinformation is used to distort events. Registration will be available soon and we invite all students to come celebrate SUSK’s 65 years with us! Вього найкращого! Stephanie Nedoshytko Стефанія Недошитко SUSK President
