The Alumni & Student Advisory Council (ASAC) is Relay's principal student and alumni organization. This year, we have the unique pleasure of combining both our alumni and student council to bridge connections and build community. As we engage in national feedback and decision-making on policies and activities affecting the Relay community in the council, we find it valuable and important that it comes from both perspectives.

The primary purpose of the council is to works towards the continuous improvement of the institution by:

• soliciting students’ opinions and input on programs and practices at the institution,
• organizing and sponsoring social, cultural, civic and academic events to improve the quality of life for graduate students,
• fostering student interaction across identity markers, disciplines and campuses, and
• facilitating communication between graduate students and the administration.

Members (students and alumni) meet monthly throughout the school year. The council is led by the Manager of Student Affairs, Naeema Stennett.

Meet our current ASAC members.
