The Students’ Association of Mount Royal University (SAMRU) is committed to representing student interests to Mount Royal University and beyond. The students doing this work are employees who form the Representation Executive Council (REC), a dynamic and essential team of full-time representatives who advocate for a better student experience.

Why should I consider applying for a REC role?

Representation is at the heart of what SAMRU does. SAMRU’s REC members work diligently on behalf of SAMRU’s Student Governing Board to address the concerns and needs of their peers, ensuring a campus environment that is inclusive, supportive, and conducive to academic success. There are four full-time salaried REC positions on one-year contracts, each earning $49,500/year + bonus + benefits (including paid tuition for one standard course per semester!).

All REC members receive professional training to help them succeed in representation, advocacy, and media. They also have the opportunity to lobby and network with high-level government officials and MRU administration and connect with student leaders from across the province and country.

Let’s explore why the SAMRU Representation Executive Council is invaluable for students and learn about its roles.
