MLIS Student Council

MLIS students have their own Student Council, the officers for which are elected each term. The officers meet regularly with the administration and faculty, and one takes part in the Faculty of Information and Media Studies Council meetings as a voting member. The Student Council is responsible for planning social events and for representing the MLIS student body throughout the University. Students are encouraged to participate actively in the academic development of the Faculty of Information and Media Studies by serving on committees of the Council and by proposing changes in the program through their representatives on the Student Council.

Current students are invited to visit the MLIS SC Intranet site.  (FIMS users only; username and password required.)
