Our Academic Reps are the foundation of student representation by gathering feedback on your learning experience and are expected to be your voice on a day-to-day basis. They make sure that your education is the best it can be as they work in partnership with the University to continually improve the student learning experience through the Student-Staff Voice Committee.
