Have your say at the MSU General Assembly

C/O McMaster Students Union

The General Assembly allows you to make a difference at McMaster

The MSU General Assembly is the constitutionally mandated annual meeting of all full-time undergraduate students (18 or more units). Any student may submit a motion for discussion or debate and speak for – or against – any issue.

The GA serves as an opportunity to participate in the decision-making process of the MSU and have an opportunity to direct the organization's actions. Additionally, it is a place where the business of students is brought before an open and public session, where individuals can have any business addressed and even have binding motions passed on the union.
