Ted Rogers Students' Society

The Ted Rogers Students' Society (external link)  is the student-elected society that represents over 13,000+ full-time undergraduate commerce students attending the Ted Rogers School of Management at Toronto Metropolitan University.

Established in 2003 as the Ryerson Commerce Society (recently renamed), the Ted Rogers Students' Society has a mission to link students together within the five schools at the Ted Rogers School of Management.

We enable students to be heard as one united voice and to act as a liaison and advocate between commerce students, student groups, and the Toronto Metropolitan faculty for any expression of opinions or questions affecting students' educational or co-curricular interests. It is our mandate to be the voice of Ted Rogers Commerce Students, the business leaders of tomorrow, by promoting our abilities and interests both within Toronto Metropolitan University and the global community.
