The International Development Studies Students Association (IDSSA) is a team of students dedicated to providing all students in the IDS program at Â鶹Çø with information, events, and services to enhance their academic experience! In addition to hosting events and providing services, the eleven member IDSSA Council is also responsible for representing the interests of IDS students to the Â鶹Çø administration.
During the school year, the IDSSA hosts regular social, academic and networking events for IDS students, including panel discussions, speaker series events, opportunities to network with IDS professors, semi-formals, and our famous trivia nights!
The IDSSA also affords a number of opportunities for involvement in the department and meeting other IDS students. For example, through participation in theÌý, first and second year students can be paired with an upper year student to learn the ins and outs of the IDS program. For students who are looking to get involved on an IDSSA committee, involvement in the production of theÌý, Latitudes, as a copy editor, designer, or other editorial committee member is an option as well! More information about the many ways IDS students can get involved with the association can be found on the IDSSAÌý.
The IDSSA website also offers a number of valuable resources for IDS students, including information about opportunities toÌýÌýand aÌýÌýof Montreal organizations for internship and volunteer opportunities.
