2021-2022 PRIORITIES
UCRU acknowledges that our members live, work, and study across Canada on the traditional and unceded territory of many Indigenous peoples including the Cree, Dené, Métis, Sioux, Huron Wendat, Attawandaran, Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Leni-Lunaape, Musqeaum and the many distinct Coast Salish peoples. UCRU is committed to advocating for the needs of Indigenous students and furthering Indigenization, decolonization, and reconciliation in our communities and beyond.
2020-2021 PRIORITIES
At the Undergraduates of the Canadian Research Intensive Universities, we pride ourselves on being a stakeholder who presents evidence-based solutions to the challenges facing our members. These solutions can be found in our policy briefs. Take a look at our 2020-2021 policy briefs below. Each year, the student associations in UCRU determine our annual priorities, and create federal policy solutions based on those topics. In 2020-2021, our priorities are: Extension of COVID-19 Student Support Package, Undergraduate Research, Connectivity for Canadians, Indigenous Support & Reconciliation and Work-Integrated Learning for International Students.
