Academic Staff Council

The UWRF Academic Staff Council (ASC) is the legislative arm of the academic staff. The ASC gives a voice to academic staff at UWRF to help participate in shaping decisions affecting academic staff. The ASC promotes education, professional development activities, and communication between the academic staff members and the broader UWRF community.
