Advocacy
As your representatives, the student executives act as the voice of our student population. Our elected students represent King’s students within the institution and to outside organizations. Externally, our VP External connects us to the greater needs of the student movement locally, provincially and nationally. Internally, our President and VP Interal are blessed with a highly collaborative environment at King’s where our “seat at the table” is encouraged, valued and welcomed.
Your voice matters!
We are frequently asked to sit on several working committees that impact the students on campus including committees related to new infrastructure (CES Building), IT projects (Anthology), mental health, student policies, EDI, Food services, student awards and much more.
Externally, we represent King’s at the municipal (Edmonton Student Alliance- ESA), provincial (Alberta Students’ Executive Council – ASEC), and federal (Canadian Alliance of Student Associations – CASA) levels. Our VP External works alongside fellow student executives to amplify your voice and help determine advocacy priorities for students here in Edmonton, Alberta and at institutions across the country.

Have an Opinion?
We are looking to develop a student focus group that our Executive Board can connect with throughout the year to hear feedback and input on issues related to being a student at King’s and in Alberta in general. If you have passion for student advocacy and want to share your ideas and thoughts, join our student focus group!
Contact our VP External or VP Internal to learn how you contribute.
