International Student Rep.

  • As the International student representatives, i will focus on 3 key initiatives :-

    1. Improving mental health support for international students

    Many international students face problems related to academic stress, isolation and cultural adjustment. i would like to initiate programmes designed for international students, such as workshops etc. I also plan to work with the Mental health services at UWIN to provide them with better experiences.

    2. Advocate for financial equity

    International students pay double the amount domestic students and while this is something that might be out of my hands, i believe with the right sources and help from team i will be able to bring some sort of a change or help for students from all backgrounds.

  • I believe that having clear lines of communications is essential when it comes to building trust and effective collaboration. I plan to meet and communicate regularly with UWSA board members and administration to ensure that concerns, initiatives and feedbacks are shared transparently. drawing from my experiences from my Work at the Indian student association and LEAD, i understand the value of working towards a common goal.

    it is also important to have mutual trust and respect within the team. I will be open to listening to diverse perspectives from people and make sure that all voices are heard and respected. this will allow us to pool resources, share ideas and create more effective solutions that benefit all.

  • From the time I started university, as an International student i understood and realised the importance of having a group of students that represent you and our needs. It plays a vital role in shaping the student experience at the university of Windsor. It serves as a bridge between the student body and administration, ensuring that student voices are heard, their concerns addressed and interests protected.

    It also provides the students with a range of essential services like health and dental which only make the whole experience more manageable. overall it makes the university a safe home for students.

Pranjal Reen

I have had the privilege of gaining diverse experience through various leadership roles. As an international student myself, understanding the needs and problems faced by us students everyday, is an asset in itself. Serving as the Vice-President of the Indian Student Association at the University of Windsor, I developed the ability to represent and advocate for a large community of international students.

Additionally my position as event coordinator at LEAD, enabled me to organize events and workshops tailored to supporting students, including international first-year students.
