It is often overlooked that what the GCSU does could have implications for other groups. Using 3 C's is important: Cooperation, collaboration, and communication. These tools will be used to restore friendly relations between GCSU and all external bodies. Glendon is a college with much potential and should be recognized as such; let's show what Glendon Students are capable of!

There is a need for the GCSU to re-establish positive relations and connections with the Glendon and York Administrations, but also to establish communication not only with the student unions at York, but also with other student unions since there is much we can learn from them. Further, post-secondary education is currently a topic of much debate for the Ontario provincial government and the GCSU should ensure that Glendon Students are well informed on the issues being discussed and policy that is being changed. To accomplish this, there needs to be more interaction between the GCSU, the students of Glendon, and external bodies.

• Host a reception for Glendon Students, Glendon Administration, the YFS, and members of the York Administration involved with Glendon to encourage communication and interaction.
• Host events at Glendon for Glendon Students and York Students to encourage not only communication between members of both unions, but also to display to the YFS the unique aspects of Glendon campus.
• Establish a functioning External Affairs Committee and invite not only students to participate, but also speakers who are well informed in education policy and concerns, be they from government, academia, or other student unions.
