What is Activate?
ACTIVATE is a series of student leadership workshops hosted by OSAS.

Through engaging workshops, thought-provoking panel discussions, and valuable networking opportunities, you’ll learn how to build resilience, lead teams effectively, and approach leadership with confidence and impact.
Whether you’re driven to create positive change, excel in team environments, or prepare for internships and co-ops, ACTIVATE will help you lead with purpose, adaptability, and the skills to grow as a leader.
