About Angela: Angela has worked at UÀ¶Ý®ÊÓƵ for over a decade, and is currently Manager, Academic Success and Retention in the Student Success Office. She previously worked in Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs in a role supporting graduate student and postdoctoral development. Angela has a Bachelor of Arts Degree from University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ in History and Political Science, and an MA and PhD in History from York University. You may find her on campus walking the ring road with colleagues at lunch, looking for birds with her binoculars, or grabbing a drink on the Grad House patio.
Reason for running: I have been involved in the UWSA for five years, as an Area Rep for GSPA and then SSO. I bring to the role a range of experience on university-wide committees and working groups, as well as 3 years of non-profit experience. I ran for office to give back to the UWSA, which has supported me and my ideas in so many ways, and to continue to advocate for staff.
Vision for the UWSA:Â
The next few years will be challenging for staff. It is especially crucial during these anxious times to have an effective UWSA Board focused on good governance, advancing strategic priorities, and advocating for equity, diversity, inclusion and anti-racism in all spaces where the UWSA has a voice. My vision for the UWSA includes:
- Transparency (sharing with members what the Board knows and can share)
- Frequent communication with members on the activities and workings of the Board
- Staff representation/consultation in decision-making processes pertaining to budget cuts
