Stay connected, give back, and mentor current students.

The RRC Polytech Students’ Association (RRCSA) is currently accepting applications to fill its opening for an ex-officio alumni position on it’s board – and they’re looking for a passionate graduate like you! All proud RRC Polytech alumni are warmly invited to apply.

This volunteer opportunity allows alumni to share their professional experience and insights with a dynamic, student-led board of directors. The alumni representative on the Students’ Association Board (SAB) brings industry knowledge and provides direction and mentorship to the team.

“The presence of an alumni representative on the SAB helps steer and shape our future. It’s a great opportunity to share new ideas, wisdom, and experience gained since graduating,” said Mohammad Butt, President of the Students’ Association for the 2026-2027 academic year.

“We also appreciate how the alumni representative lends perspective that will help us make sound judgments regarding student decisions. This is just a fantastic opportunity to meet new people, connect with the community, and truly make a difference.”

The SAB oversees a $3 million budget, which funds student initiatives and trust funds, and supports donation requests and capital projects. Your voice will help shape the decisions that directly impact the student experience and the broader RRC Polytech community.

“Being the alumni member on the SAB allowed me to give back to RRC Polytech and share some of my work and board experiences with student members since graduating many years ago,” said Colin Tirschmann (Business Administration, 1992), who served on the SAB for the 2024-2025 term.

“The SA Board is one of my favourite boards – the students bring a lot of energy and take their roles seriously. The bonus is that you meet a lot of nice people.”

The alumni representative will contribute to the development of the RRCSA’s Strategic Plan and serve on the Building Trust Fund Committee, which guides key campus infrastructure and improvement projects. They will also have the opportunity to provide invaluable mentorship to emerging student leaders who are committed to making a difference on campus.

This volunteer board member position is a one-year term from September 2026 to September 2027, with an opportunity to extend per interest and approval. Meetings are held in-person monthly, with nine meetings a year. Make a meaningful impact on the future of RRC Polytech – apply today!

Applications will remain open until the week of September 21, in time for the first SAB meeting of the year. For more information and to apply, visit the RRCSA website.
