An impressive sit-down with @WesternUSC President, Kat Henricus, and Vice-President, Omar Sayyed.
Very proud of the young leaders who emerge from @WesternU — committed to serving their communities.
It’s been many years since my time at Western’s USC, but nearly 20 years on, I remain #PurpleAndProud each and every day.
Hope homecoming is a huge success!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of speaking to the SC on Social Policy on Bill 166 on behalf of @WesternUSC . Setting standards for policies for mental health and racism is key, alongside robust and regular engagement with students to keep them current and relevant. #onpse #onpoli

“Food insecurity is a big issue on campus. The rising cost of living affects every realm of a student's life, and that’s why our community needs to come together to better support students.” - Bianca Gouveia, VP Student Services
Editorial: As a non-profit institution that prides itself on having a second-to-none student experience, what could be more important than food insecurity? #westernu #ldnont

"Sustainability is a really important topic to students, and it's great to be able to bring awareness to waste management to a wider audience. Working with passionate students to make their ideas happen is one of my favourite parts of my job and of the USC." - Tamsen Long, VPCPA
The USC is introducing a new sustainability page aimed at motivating students to correctly segregate their waste within its USC Now app, in partnership with the student-led GreenSort initiative. #LdnOnt #WesternU #ClimateChange #Sustainability

“I have noticed in myself growing anxiety around the climate crisis and a looming helplessness that can be paralyzing if I give it too much attention. However, ignoring this and pushing myself into ignorant bliss cannot be the solution.” #WesternU #LdnOnt

25 years ago I moved to London, Ontario to attend @WesternU.
I fell in love with this amazing city and I never left.
Tonight I got to welcome Western’s incoming class as Mayor of this city.

#EmancipationDay marks the day the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 took effect, yet not all were liberated; only children under six were freed.
#WesternU acknowledges the history of enslaved peoples in Canada and remains dedicated to dismantling systemic racism.
This year’s London Pride Month was one to remember! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Thank you to everyone who celebrated with us on campus, at the @prideldnfest parade, and throughout the community💜
