World University Services of Canada
World University Services of Canada (WUSC) at Ontario Tech is a student group that is dedicated to providing and improving education, employment, and empowerment opportunities for young refugees around the world.
Our aim is to:
- Advocate for social change through campaigns and events.
- Raise awareness and educate the campus on global refugee issues.
- Sponsor and support a WUSC student who newly immigrated to Canada through the Student Refugee Program.
Student Refugee Program
Within WUSC, there is a youth-to-youth sponsorship program called Student Refugee Program (SRP). It is the only one of its kind to combine resettlement with opportunities for higher education for young refugees.
We sponsor a student every other year from a refugee background to have the opportunity to study at Ontario Tech. You currently support a WUSC student financially through your ancillary fees. We couldn’t have made this happen without your support!
Learn about our WUSC alumni:
- Honoline Francis, Bachelor of Health Sciences in Kinesiology, class of 2019.
- Jean Bertrand Alestide Nsanzeryaka, Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences, class of 2016.
