THE UNION OF STUDENTS WORKING AND GROWING (USWAG) MOVEMENT, IS A MOVEMENT ESTABLISHED WITH THE GOAL OF ACHIEVING SOCIAL AND ACADEMIC JUSTICE, WHERE EVERYONE, REGARDLESS OF STATURE, IS PROVIDED WITH THE SAME STANDARD OF EDUCATION, WELL-BEING, AND FAIR OPPORTUNITY TO ENRICH THEIR PERSONAL AND SOCIAL LIVES. INSPIRED BY THE NEED TO BRING TO LIGHT THE STRUGGLES AND INEQUALITIES EXPERIENCED BY STUDENTS, THE MOVEMENT WAS FOUNDED TO REPRESENT THESE STUDENTS THROUGH THE SUPREME STUDENT GOVERNMENT. THE MOVEMENT BELIEVES IN THE SPIRIT OF EQUALITY, WHERE ALL OPPORTUNITIES GIVEN BY THE INSTITUTION MUST BE ACQUIRED AND EXPERIENCED BY ALL. GUIDED BY PRINCIPLES GROUNDED ON HUMAN DIGNITY AND RIGHTS AND ON THE REPUBLICAN VALUES OF EQUALITY, INTERDEPENDENCE, PUBLIC PARTICIPATION, SOCIAL ORGANIZATION, CIVIC PRIDE, AND THE COMMON GOOD, THE MOVEMENT ASPIRES TO PROMOTE SOLIDARITY AMONG ALL STUDENTS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR GENDER, RACE, RELIGION, AND STATUS IN LIFE. TO THIS DAY, THE USWAG MOVEMENT REMAINS THE PREMIER STUDENT MOVEMENT IN THE UNIVERSITY OF SAN JOSE-RECOLETOS, FIRM IN ITS OBJECTIVES OF ACHIEVING EQUALITY, STUDENT EMPOWERMENT, AND SOCIAL AND ACADEMIC JUSTICE.
