The University of Alberta Students Union is running a great campaign focused on opening discourse to the challenges that students all across Alberta face. While this is NOT a campaign being run at the University of Lethbridge, nor is the ULSU in any way involved we do support our good friends to the north and believe that any discourse on restriction’s to accessing education in Alberta is a very positive thing.
The cost of a full educational experience is rapidly increasing. Mounting financial burdens are preventing a growing number of hard-working, qualified students from completing or even starting their university education. Join the Restricted Access movement and protect the right to an education that all qualified students have earned.
Check out the website to see what’s going on and if you are an University of Alberta student, contact the SU there to see what you can do in this campaign. If you are not a UofA student, you can still participate by writing to your MLA using this awesome link.
If you are interested in voicing your opinion about your experience as a student in Alberta check out the Open Up! campaign being run by the Council of Alberta University Students (UCSU, UASU and us, the ULSU!) which could have you win an ipod for your submission, whats up!
For more information please feel free to contact the ULSU at 403 329 2770.
Hey All,
Thanks for the note, Lethbridge! We love you people down south!
As mentioned, we’d greatly appreciate support on the form MLA letters. They take quite literally 10 seconds to do, and are set up in a text box so you can edit them however you’d like. The letters are meant to promote access to PSE generally in Alberta, not simply at U of A, so they should help us all out.
Further, if you can have your parents send these form letters — or get their permission and send them on their behalves — this vastly increases the scope of support province-wide.
Awesome blog! Keep up the fantastic work!
