4. Describe the importance of the UWSA in your own words

UWSA is an important alliance as it is run by a student body. The members in the UWSA are also students at the University of Windsor which makes understanding the needs of students easier. This also allows to recognize the needs peers of members may have and students will feel more comfortable reaching out to members of UWSA as they are students and understand the struggle. UWSA is also necessary as it recognizes the struggles of student life and works hard to assist students with services, fun events, representation and also advocating for them.
