Every year, AUT students elect a Student Representative Council (SRC) — a group of students who represent the student voice on campus. Your SRC members sit on committees where they can drive real change, from academia to campus facilities.
What does the SRC do?
The SRC is a student-led body tasked with representing the views and needs of AUT students. Members sit on high-level meetings within faculties, schools, and the university to pass on and action student feedback.
If you're concerned about something happening at AUT or in wider NZ society that might affect you and your peers, these are the people to talk to.
