Student Representative Council

In compliance with this legislative requirement, every year February, EMC conducts a democratic election of the Student Representative Council. The SRC is run by the students, for the students, with a developmental consideration of the functional needs of the College student population.

The SRC members, as the active voice of the students, acknowledge their duty to maintain a key responsibility in the operations of the College.
