The SRC is your advocacy body on campus. The SRC’s role is to represent students in policy changes, manage the collectives, direct students to resources and initiate projects to improve student life.
The SRC is comprised of a President, General Secretary, Office Bearers and Councillors. Each Office Bearer has a corresponding collective that they are responsible for managing. It is their job to advocate for their collectives' needs and initiate projects that address their needs. You can find them here.
