Coffee with a Side of Advocacy
Join us for a free coffee meetup where the topics on the table are the ones that directly impact your wallet, your commute, and your degree! We're serving up hot coffee courtesy of Olive Branch alongside deliberately blunt conversation starters on major campus and provincial issues—including OSAP funding, DRT transit reliability, AI bans, housing affordability, rising school fees, and campus wellness supports.
There's no script, no filter, and no pressure to have a polished opinion—just students talking honestly about what's working and what isn't. To wrap things up, the Student Advocacy Advisory Committee (SAAC) will host a roundtable discussion, ensuring your feedback gets carried directly into the advocacy work OTSU brings to the university and the province.
Plus, this session falls right in the middle of OUSA's provincial OSAP survey window (open until October 8). You can complete the survey on the spot to make sure Ontario Tech's voice is heard when pushing for real changes to student funding.
