CHAIR

Anne Huynh

This semester, we planned for 6 general meetings taking place bi-weekly. We have continued with hosting these meetings on Fridays at 5:30 pm in the Copper Room of the Goldring Student Centre. I have also continued buying snacks for these meetings. So far, I have chaired 3 general meetings which have gone relatively smoothly. We’ve had many action items and discussion items brought forth this semester that have resulted in productive conversations. Examples include student access to the Goldring Student Centre, the University Mandated Leave of Absence Policy (UMLAP) and portion control in Burwash Dining Hall.

We also had our first post pandemic in person budget ratification meeting in January. I chaired this meeting along with our Finance Chair and it went pretty well. We were able to stay within the three hours and ratify the new Winter 2023 budget. The second budget ratification meeting happened a few weeks later and we were able to make final additional changes to the budget.

You can find the meeting package for every meeting on our website at https://www.vusac.ca/meetings usually within 24 hours before the meeting. All VCU members are invited and encouraged to submit discussion items to talk about during the meeting, as well as attend the meeting even if you don’t have anything you want to discuss in particular and just want to listen in. Our meetings usually only consist of VUSAC members but the topics we discuss pertain to the entire Vic community!

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to get in touch with me at chair@vusac.ca and we can chat about it!
