MCMASTER STUDENTS UNION

Student Representative Assembly

The Student Representative Assembly (SRA), the governing body of the MSU, is composed of 35 undergraduate students elected by their peers, inside each academic division. Together, they work to provide the best possible MSU services and departments, represent and address the concerns of undergraduate students, and lobby the University to improve McMaster’s academic quality. The MSU exists to represent you and to help build a better community for all students.

 

SRA representatives host weekly office hours to outreach to their constituents during the Fall and Winter terms. Please see the calendar below for outreach hours listed by Caucus and Caucus member. If you don’t see your representative’s scheduled hours, please feel free to contact them by email at their contact information to the right of this calendar.
