International Development Studies Student's Association

In early 2012, the International Development Studies Students’ Association (IDSSA) was reestablished by a small group of dedicated individuals who aimed to create a close-knit IDS community. Since its reestablishment it has had much success in creating an interconnected community of passionate individuals who are working to effect positive change in our community and in the world.

Presently, the goal of the IDSSA at the University of Toronto Scarborough Campus (UTSC) is to create a positive space where students, faculty, staff, alumni and community members can engage in meaningful opportunities pertaining to the multifaceted field of development. The IDSSA acts a student-body liaison to the Centre for Critical Development Studies at UTSC, to ensure that our voices are heard. The IDSSA also engages in meaningful relationships through partnership and collaboration with other student organizations and groups on campus (e.g. WUSC, Oxfam, etc.).
