Students' Association of NorQuest College

Your Students' Council Representatives, Hebah and Deogyne, attended the Alberta Students' Executive Council [ASEC] conference this week, where they connected with fellow student leaders from across the province and contributed to conversations about provincial advocacy priorities.

The conference was a great experience to learn about governance and collaborate with other student leaders to share ideas.

They heard from guest speakers such as Edmonton's Mayor, Andrew Knack, previous student leaders who are thriving in society and our Executive Director, Cherie Sawaryn, participated and shared lessons learned as an alumni panellist at the first ASEC alumni dinner.

To celebrate Pride month, we are partnering with NorQuest Pride and the Learner Centre to give you a chance to take home a prize basket worth up to $200 in goodies!

Three themed baskets are up for grabs: Accessories Basket, Comfy Basket and Outdoors Basket. So, be sure to stop by the SANQC Office, Pride Lounge and Learner Centre now through June 26, and enter your name.

Students can enter their name into the designated draw for each basket but can win only one. Winners will be contacted June 29-30.🌈

Colour is in the air, and Pride is everywhere! Join us in celebrating diversity, equality, inclusion and love. SANQC thrives on fostering an inclusive environment for all, and we aim to ensure those who identify as part of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community are respected, supported, and well represented.

June is National Indigenous History Month, and as we recognize and embrace the unique cultures, traditions and experiences of First Nations, Inuit and Métis, we celebrate their contributions to this nation.

We move forward, honoured to live on this shared land, rich in history, distinguished by stories, achievements, and the resilience of Indigenous Peoples, vowing to continue learning and growing.

Your Students' Council Representatives, Dan and Alex, joined Edmonton's Mayor Andrew Knack earlier this month for a roundtable.

This was an opportunity to ask questions, network with Students' Council Reps from other institutions and learn more about the efforts that the municipal government is working towards in terms of student housing, affordable living and public transit safety.

Questions about the current state of International student visas and financial shortages specific to NorQuest College due to a decrease in International students were also brought to the table.

Your Students' Council Reps continue to be part of the conversation, addressing concerns of students and putting their best interests at the forefront.
