Students are encouraged to get involved in the important process of shaping the future of student government on campus.
On Wednesday, March 4, and Thursday, March 5, 2020, Ryerson University's full-time undergraduate and all graduate students will have the opportunity to vote for the structure of their representative government. This is an important opportunity for Ryerson students to shape the future of student government on campus. We encourage students to get involved in this important process.
