The Canadian Alliance of Student Associations, or CASA, advocates for post-secondary education students across Canada through policy development and research, awareness campaigns, government relations, and partnerships with other stakeholders.
All members of the Student Union are also members of CASA, and the UPEISU is an active member of the organization. With representation on several committees, an active presence at conferences and general meetings, and access to staff with expertise in policy development, research, and lobbying, the UPEISU is confident that CASA is working hard for issues our students care about.
