What is the Hot Topic?

The Hot Topic is a monthly survey that aims to gather quick feedback from students on particular issues. The surveys typically include 3-5 questions, and UPSU Insights proceed to write a report based on this feedback at the end of each month. This month we are launching our Annual Members Review, so it's actually 3 surveys! But that also means more chances to win prizes.
