This includes hosting social events like movie nights and book clubs, fostering academic support through professional panels and sitting on faculty meetings, representing students to the faculty of information management and dalhousie university, sharing information on relevant external events and organizations, and connecting students to professors and professionals in the field of information management. ISSA further commits itself to prioritizing issues of equity, diversity, accessibility, anti-racism, and decolonization within the student body and the University, as well as in the field of Information Management.
