Affiliated Member Associations
UOPISA currently represents and advocates for thirteen affiliated member associations. These associations are comprised of Pacific student leaders who engage with and serve their wider student community through events, initiatives, campaigns and drives. It is a pleasure for UOPISA to represent such a diverse range of students, which further highlights the beauty of our Pacific Islands cultures and the determination we have to succeed in an academic tertiary environment.
