At the beginning of my term as Coordinator, the V.I.S.A. Publications team was led by Lulua Mala, who was the Executive and Avinesh Wadhwa who was the Associate. But I felt Lulua’s skills and talent were better utilized as Assistant Coordinator. Her replacement was Mahek Ajmera.

The main goal that I set for the Publications team was to get V.I.S.A.’s website back up. The website had been dormant and out-of-date since October 2007, and it was proving a hindrance in expanding our reach beyond the Windsor area.

Beginning in September, the Publications team under the supervision of Lulua began receiving training on creating and maintaining the website from Mr. John Powell at Public Affairs and Communications. The deadline I had set for the site to be completed was December 04th, 2009, the day of the V.I.S.A. Potluck. As expected, the site was completed on time and is now visible at http://www.uwindsor.ca/visa/.

It is a testament to the skill of the V.I.S.A. Publications team, that they also managed to publish an exceptional newsletter in the fall 2009 semester while working on bringing the website up and running. In winter 2010, the publications team once again proved their worth with an outstanding newsletter in keeping with the best traditions of V.I.S.A.
