ALLIANCE OF BC STUDENTS EXCITED TO WELCOME ROYAL ROADS UNIVERSITY STUDENT ASSOCIATION AS NEWEST MEMBER

Unceded Coast Salish Territories/Vancouver, BC - The Alliance of BC Students is thrilled to welcome the Royal Roads University Student Association as our newest member!

The Royal Roads University Student Association (RRUSA) represents undergraduate students at Royal Roads University, advocating for their unique needs and delivering services both in-person at their Colwood campus and digitally to members who attend school online.

“We’re very excited to be joining the Alliance of BC Students,” said RRUSA President Riley Huntley. “The Alliance does a lot of amazing work advocating for student-focused mental health resources, sexualized violence prevention on campus, open education resources, and the general removal of barriers to post-secondary education in BC.”

“In addition to the common problems facing all students, like sky-high tuition and living expenses, RRUSA has distinct challenges as the only student society in BC that is not protected by the University Act,” Huntley continued. “The Alliance is a strong advocate for students in BC, and joining the Alliance will help RRUSA advocate for its students for years to come. Our priorities are very much in alignment, and RRUSA is excited to get to work as a member of the Alliance of BC Students.”

“We’re incredibly delighted to have the Royal Roads University Student Association joining the Alliance of BC Students,” said ABCS Chairperson Aryanna Chartrand. “RRUSA has a strong record of advocating for the unique needs of its members, and we can’t wait to get to work with RRUSA in addressing the challenges facing its members and all students in BC.”
