À PROPOS DE L’AEFA
L'Associations en Facultés des Arts (AEFA) a pour but de représenter tous les étudiants de la Faculté des arts de McGill, de promouvoir leur bien-être et leurs intérêts, et de proposer des activités et des services qui améliorent les dimensions éducatives, culturelles et sociales de la vie étudiante.
L'AEFA représente les étudiants en arts auprès de la Faculté des arts, de l'administration de McGill et du gouvernement du Québec. Nous aidons les étudiants qui ont des plaintes à formuler, nous défendons les intérêts des étudiants et nous faisons en sorte que des changements positifs soient apportés à McGill et dans la communauté.
La vie sur le campus est une autre partie importante de ce que nous faisons à l'AEFA. Le Frosh, le Bar des Arts (BdA) et le Bal des Diplômés sont des événements majeurs coordonnés par l’AUS pour les étudiants. Nous gérons également le Salon des Arts au sous-sol de Leacock et le SNAX Café au rez-de-chaussée de Leacock. Tout au long de l'année, le AUS propose également des programmes académiques et professionnels tels que Travaillez Votre BA et la Foire aux Diplômés.
Nous offrons une gamme de services aux étudiants, notamment le centre de rédaction d'essais du AUS, un réseau coordonné de tutorat par les pairs, la location de casiers, la réservation de salles, des cercles de conversation en français et le prêt d'ordinateurs. Nous allouons également des fonds aux étudiants en arts pour leur permettre de trouver et de financer des stages, et nous contribuons au programme d'alternance travail-études de McGill qui embauche des étudiants sur le campus.
Bien que l’AEFA dispose d’un exécutif qui supervise et gère l’organisations, l’AEFA est également constituée de plus de 29 associations départementales qui représentent, défendent et organisent des événements pour les étudiants dans leurs domaines d’études respectifs.
L'AEFA est une association étudiante accréditée par le gouvernement du Québec (R.S.Q. Ch.A-3.01) et enregistrée comme organisme à but non lucratif. Nous fonctionnons indépendamment de l'Université McGill. Tout étudiant de premier cycle poursuivant un Bachelor d’Arts ou un Bachelor d’Arts et de Science est automatiquement membre de l'AEFA.
