Director Positions Available

Each year we take 5 Directors; the role of each director is very important as they assist the executive council. If you are interested in becoming an executive in the future, we highly recommend taking on a bigger role a member of the GSA this year. Each director is responsible for certain tasks.

Here is the list of director positions as well as a brief recap of their responsibilities. Note that there is more to these positions.

Director of Social Affairs

  • Responsible for assisting the Vice-President Internal and Vice-President Student Life in planning and promoting events.

Director of Athletics and Recreation

First Year Representative

  • Responsible for involving the first years members of the association, promoting the association to first year students, and assisting the executives where needed.

Each year we have a high demand for Director positions. If you do not win, executive’s take on associates as well, who shadow their positions and help the GSA in a similar way that directors do. We are always happy to have more actively involved members.

Please send us your name and the position you wish to run for by Wednesday, September 17 at midnight. At our general meeting, you will be asked to stand up and say a few words as to why you think you are best for this position. Preparation ahead of time is not necessary, but recommended. Members will vote the director they feel is most suited for the position.

Good luck to all the candidates!

Clubs Day and Street Fest 2014

On Wednesday, September 3, 2014 and Tuesday, September 9, 2014 your executives took up shop, participating in both Clubs Day and Street Fest, recruiting members for the 2014/2015 school year.

Clubs Day took place outside Hart House, where over a 100 new members were welcomed into the Greek Students’ Association with gyros from our sponsor, Messini’s Authentic Gyros and our newly designed t-shirts.

The University of Toronto Student Union closed down St. George Street for Street Fest, which gave students an additional opportunity to register for the many clubs at UofT. We would like to thank our sponsor, Markham Station, as well as all of those who helped make the day a great success.

We look forward to this upcoming year. Please frequent our social media channels to learn about future events!
