SAMRU REC President, Tala Abu Hayyaneh, and SAMRU REC Vice President External Mariana Mejia Salazar, travelled to Ottawa for the Canadian Alliance of Student Association’s (CASA)’s Advocacy Week (Nov. 17–21), joining student leaders from across the country to push for change on the issues that matter most to you: housing affordability, student grants, and access to work-integrated learning.
Welcome back to campus! While you were recharging this summer, your elected student leaders on the Representation Executive Council (REC) were busy advocating on your behalf. The team spent the summer focused on affordability, student employment, and making sure your voice is heard at every level.
Learn all about your new and returning REC members! And don’t forget to tune in close to the fall semester as REC outlines their position statements and advocacy goals for the 2025-26 academic year!
As the school year begins to wind down, we’ve got some important business to take care of at SAMRU. It’s time for SAMRU’s Annual General Meeting (AGM)!
SAMRU’s REC team is comprised of four students, selected by the Student Governing Board (SGB) and elected by students to serve the interests of all SAMRU members (MRU credit students). From issues on campus all the way to the federal government, REC is the frontline for all things student advocacy.
Are you overwhelmed by the mere thought of politics? Worry no longer! For the first time in five years, SAMRU invites you to Student Connect! Join your Representation Executive Council (REC) and campus media in Wyckham House for the opportunity to talk to MLAs, MPs, and even Mayor Jyoti Gondek!
It’s been a fantastic start to another year of studies. While you’ve been enjoying the frights of October or hiding indoors from the snowstorms of November, your Representation Executive Council (REC) has been advocating for what matters most to MRU students!
We’ve received many emails and in-person comments about the current placement of fall reading break and how students believe a placement change may be in order. That’s why REC wants to hear from you, and how you think reading break can be improved.
Student representation matters – The people 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.
