Welcome Back to Your CUSA News
Since its formation, Clarkson University Student Association has sought best to represent and advocate for Clarkson’s undergraduate student body. Each year we as students face new challenges and gather new ideas, this year will be no exception.
Our new executive board along with all of our newly or re-elected senate board members want you to know what is happening at all of our CUSA Senate meetings and behind the scenes as well. Clarkson University’s Student Association or CUSA meets every week at 7 pm on Mondays. This meeting typically takes place in the MPR’s in the Student Center but due to restrictions this year, we will be conducting our meetings remotely. All are still welcome to attend as our meetings are open to everyone, including committee meetings which will have a set schedule in the near future posted on our Knight life page. If you are interested in attending any CUSA meetings please reach out to our CUSA Public Relation’s Coordinator, Bailee Underwood. She would happily get you all the information you need to join our virtual meetings.
Maybe CUSA meetings aren’t for you?
We want all students to have an equal opportunity to know what is happening on campus during our meetings. Below is a section labeled Keeping Up with CUSA. Here you will be able to find any information that was voted on or discussed in any of our meetings.
We also encourage you to check out our meeting notes that will be uploaded to Knight life for anyone to view.
Women’s History Month is an annual declared month that highlights the contributions of women to events in history and contemporary society.

Upcoming Events
Radical Self-Care Series: Plant-Based Food Revolution with Veggie Mijas
WHEN: March 5th 2:00 – 3:00 pm
ABOUT SERIES: The Clarkson Chief Inclusion Office and the St. Lawrence University Office for Diversity & Inclusion have collaborated to create a self-care series open to all and focused on the needs and healing of BIPOC students. This semester we will have sessions addressing: mental health, spiritual health, sexual health, physical health, and culturally relevant veganism. Every other Friday starting on Friday 5 Feb. we will host a different session.
WORKSHOP:Veggie Mijas started in August 2017 as an instagram page, created by Amy Quichiz and Mariah Bermeo, for college students that wanted easy recipes that folks can make in their dorms and small kitchens. The access to food became a general issue for most people living off & on campus. Once Amy and Mariah graduated from Syracuse University, Veggie Mijas became a women of color/trans folks of color/gender non-confirming collective for folks that are plant-based or are interested in a plant-based lifestyle that have marginalized identities and/or experiences with food insecurity/food apartheids. Veggie Mijas is excited to continue being a part of the food revolution for our people, our hood, our community.
BIO:Amy Quichiz earned her degree at Syracuse University in Women’s and Gender Studies and Sociology. She is continuously committed to bring awareness to the Latinx community and fight against gender violence, sexual assault, gender and sexual inequality, queer discriminations and racial issues. With Veggie Mijas, Amy works to highlight the importance of veganism from a lens of those with marginalized identities. Amy also provides resources for folks in these cities on how their food can be more accessible and to learn more about the food system.
