Student Life
Political, International, and Development Studies Student Association (PIDSSA)
The PIDSSA is the representative body for undergraduate students of the School of Political Studies at the University of Ottawa. The membership of the PIDSSA includes all full- and part-time students enrolled in the following programs at the undergraduate level: Political Studies, Public Administration, International Studies and Modern Languages, and International Development and Globalization.
The mandate of the PIDSSA is to represent its members before different bodies and to provide them with a forum to discuss ways in which to improve their educational experience, as well as other subjects that are of interest to them. The PIDSSA is also responsible for organizing numerous social and academic activities in order to instil a sense of pride and cohesion among its members. An active membership in the PIDSSA can therefore offer numerous opportunities to complement both academic and social life at the University of Ottawa.
