Advocacy isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s about creating meaningful change where it matters most to students. At the Fanshawe Student Union (FSU), we champion student voices through impactful approaches, data-driven action, and direct lobbying. We work to convince decision-makers to prioritize what matters most, which requires consistency, timing, and strong relationships. By focusing on the issues that impact students, we ensure every voice is heard and every action counts, making your post-secondary experience inclusive, safe, accessible, and high-quality.
You have a voice. We want to hear it. From town halls and in-person consultations to our FSU Feedback Form and newly created Communications team,we give students a platform to speak directly to our FSU leadership and help shape our strategic direction.
Here are some ways that the FSU encourages dialogue with students:
We believe it’s important for all Fanshawe students to have the opportunity to share their voices on issues that impact them. We conduct research and gather student feedback to guide our priorities and strengthen our case for change. Students can share their voice through a variety of channels:
If you would like to share your opinions through FSU surveys and focus groups, email us at fsuadvocacy@fanshawec.ca. Every voice helps us create meaningful change.
We are a non-partisan, not-for-profit student advocacy association. We meet with college leadership, government representatives, and community stakeholders to ensure student concerns are heard and addressed. Our advocacy is shaped by ongoing engagement through:
Meeting with London Mayor Josh Morgan
Meeting with London MPP Peggy Sattler
Meeting with London Ward 13 Councillor David Ferreira
Meeting with London MPP Terence Kernaghan
Meeting with London Ward 6 Councillor Sam Trosow
Meeting with University Students’ Council (USC) Executive Team
Attending Ontario Student Voices (OSV) conferences
We create and provide tools, guides, and resources to help students navigate challenges and advocate for themselves. Speaking up can feel intimidating, but it’s an essential skill for getting the support you need. Whether it’s requesting an assignment extension, resolving a conflict with a roommate, or accessing services for your well-being, clearly communicating your needs can make a meaningful difference.
Through targeted campaigns, we inform and mobilize students around key issues affecting their academic and personal lives.
