Students'
Association
The Woodsworth College Students’ Association (WCSA) consists of student representatives elected to serve, represent, and advocate for the students of Woodsworth College. Formed in 1975, WCSA strives to enrich students’ university experience, provide a number of useful services, and is constantly expanding what it offers from professional development to club funding. WCSA’s goal is to actively maintain and promote the status of the students of Woodsworth College as full, equal, and participatory members of the University of Toronto.
WHO WE ARE
WCSA organizes extracurricular cultural, athletic, professional development, community outreach and social activities in a manner that keeps with the highest standards of equity and environmental sustainability. In the past, some of the most popular social initiatives run by the Association include Woodsworth’s Orientation Week, WCSA Pancake Wednesdays, the Red Party Winter Semi-Formal, and the annual Woodsworth Awards Gala. In addition to the numerous social initiatives run by WCSA throughout the year, WCSA strives for advocacy work on behalf of the students of Woodsworth College to promote the standards of equity, accountability, transparency, and inclusion that define the Association. This includes advocacy work on LGBTQ2+ rights, anti-discrimination work for racialized students, mental health awareness, low income financial assistance, and most recently, the Free Menstrual Products Campaign, which aims to create a more inclusive, more accommodating, and less stigmatized environment for women.

WHAT WE DO
President's Message
Dear Woodsworth,
Welcome to the Wolfpack! My name is Haadiya Usman and it is my honor to serve as your President on the 2024-2025 Woodsworth College Students’ Association (WCSA) Board of Directors.
Here, at Woodsworth College, your academic journey is just beginning to intertwine with the countless opportunities for growth, connection, and discovery. Our student body, much like our bustling city of Toronto, represents a kaleidoscope of perspectives and talents. Since 1975, we have expanded to cater to a variety of communities such as mature students, academic-bridging students, international students, commuter students, and many more. WCSA is a constantly evolving team working in a very dynamic environment, each year the cohort of students we represent changes but one thing stays the same which is that we endeavour to provide a space where every student from every background can feel seen, heard, and valued.
What I believe makes our team so special is our shared drive to support the students at Woodsworth College. I’m grateful to have found this warm and welcoming community that has shaped my undergraduate experience and I can confidently say that you will truly never feel alone here.
As always, if you have any questions or would like to chat, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at president@mywcsa.com or find the contact information of any of my fantastic directors on our Meet the Team page. Remember, we are here for you.
Without you, there would not be a Woodsworth College community.
Yours Sincerely,
Haadiya Usman
President, Woodsworth College Students’ Association
