The Student Representative Council (SRC) is an integral group of students who engage with other students and help feed information back to boards and committees around the university.
A strong SRC will not only keep AUT up to speed with what students need, but it will also hold AUT accountable in providing the very best for students. The strength of this feedback is only as good as the representatives, which is why this election is so important!
