Welcome to the official page of the Students’ Association of Medicine Hat College Advocacy Document. Introduced by the President for this academic year, this document outlines our focused advocacy efforts aimed at enhancing the student experience and ensuring equitable access to education resources at Medicine Hat College.
Our Advocacy Focus Areas
- Mandatory Non-Instructional Fees (MNIFs): We are advocating for a review and rationalization of MNIFs to ensure that fees are transparent and justifiable, and directly contribute to the quality of student services and campus life.
- Engagement with Senior Academic Leadership Team (SLT): We aim to enhance meaningful engagement with the Medicine Hat College Senior Leadership Team to ensure that student voices are considered in college decisions and future planning.
- Support for Club Faculty Advisors/Recognition for Student Leaders: Recognizing the vital role that club activities play in our academic environment, we are working to secure release time for faculty advisors to support their commitment to student clubs. We are also working to have students recognized for their leadership at MHC on their transcripts.
- Collaboration on Non-Credit Courses/Programs: We are fostering collaboration between students, faculty, and the administration to expand and improve non-credit courses and programs that can provide valuable skills and learning opportunities outside the traditional curriculum.
- Expansion of Open Educational Resources (OERs): We advocate for the increased adoption of and support for OERs to reduce the financial burden on students and provide greater access to educational materials.
