Students’ Council is made up of students — just like you!

We are here to advocate — to be the voice of the students.

We are here to support — to listen and respond to student needs.

We are here to celebrate — to create opportunities for students to connect, share, and have fun!

As student leaders, we are here to make a difference. We engage with students so we can represent them effectively.

Students’ Council has 15 seats, including:

  • 1 Self-Identifying Indigenous Board of Governors Representative
  • 1 Student-at-Large Board of Governors Representative
  • 1 Self-Identifying Regional Representative
  • 3 Faculty of Arts & Sciences Representatives
  • 3 Faculty of Business, Environment & Technology Representatives
  • 3 Faculty of Health Studies Representatives
  • 3 Faculty of Skills & Foundational Learning Representatives

While members come from different areas, all Students’ Council members share the same responsibility: to represent and champion the rights, needs, and success of students at NorQuest College.
