Want to join a nationally recognized and extremely rewarding committee at UPEI? WUSC stands for the World University Services of Canada, a non-profit organization working in over 70 campuses across Canada.

While WUSC offers a variety of programs, UPEI's WUSC committee has focused largely on the Student Refugee Program (SRP). The SRP program involves supporting a student from a refugee camp as they settle in Canada for their post-secondary education. The students are no longer considered refugees in Canada as they receive permanent residency upon arrival. This is unlike any other program in the world. The WUSC SRP committee supports the student's transition to Canada and to UPEI--financially, socially, academically, etc. We also promote education on campus about refugee issues. It's a great organization and group to be a part of.

We are currently seeking staff members or faculty to sit on our executive committee. If interested, please contact nmourad@upei.ca or rgreathouse@upei.ca. The committee will also host an information session this month,
