Arts & Humanities Student Council

(AHSC)

The Arts and Humanities Students' Council's (AHSC) mission is to foster the pride and character of the Arts and Humanities student body, facilitate an exceptional student experience, and to communicate, interact and, most importantly, openly cooperate with the Arts & Humanities students and faculty.

Throughout the year, the AHSC provides academic, philanthropic, and social programming for all students, not just those in the A&H faculty. During any AHSC event, the AHSC fosters an inclusive environment that caters to the diversity of the Arts and Humanities family at Western. The AHSC office is located in University College Building (UC), Room 2135 and is open Monday-Friday from 9:30am - 4:30pm. For more information on how to get involved in the AHSC, news about events, or resources about Western and the surrounding community, email the current Executive (usc.ahsc.exec@uwo.ca) or visit the website.

Gender Studies Student Collective

(GSSC)

Gender, Sexuality, and Women Studies is more than just a department: it is filled with programs that promote creative thinking, learning outside the traditional standards and both academic and personal growth. The Gender Studies Student Collective (GSSC) is responsible for expanding on that growth, allowing each individual to express themselves in a like-minded space where you can build a community outside of academics. Although we are small in numbers, the collective aims to be highly involved and active within Western University. This year we will be focusing on creating safe spaces on campus where Women’s Studies students can take a deep breath, discuss and grasp the intensity of the material we are introduced to. That is what we’re all about, creating these spaces and making everyone feel welcomed and comfortable. In addition, we also aim to challenge and defeat the injustices that are present within our own community. All in all, we believe that it is important to take what you learn in the classroom and apply that knowledge to your everyday encounters. It is almost impossible to avoid doing so in our program, this is why the WSSC does more than simply represent Women’s Studies students but also involve and participate in feminist discussions and events. We welcome any individuals to join our collective and come to our events.

The Western Undergraduate Film Society

(WUFS)

WUFS aims to cultivate new waves of budding filmmakers from the academic community, and welcomes students with a passion for film, but lacking in production skills, to join the organization and network with a group of like-minded peers.

Aside from producing high caliber films for submission to the Western Film Festival, WUFS also organizes social events such as  film production workshops and film festivals as well as their own publication, KINO.
