Student Representative Committees (SRCs) are groups of students elected by their peers to advocate for the student community. Each campus has its own SRC and there is an Online SRC that advocates for online students.
The SRCs:
- promote networking opportunities for all students at Charles Sturt University
- raise student ideas and issues with university decision makers
- work towards creating a better study environment
- organise student events
- work on projects to improve student life
- debate ideas in their student communities.
