The Student Representative Assembly of the MSU is the highest governing body of the organization and handles a bulk of it's projects and efforts for betterment of student life as well as the organization itself; most of the work however is done through it's six standing committee's.
Each committee will have one commissioner, four SRA members, and two at large MSU members/students elected to it.
So hence those two MSU spots for each of the six main committee's as well as spots for a number of other smaller/less active committee's are up for Election this Sunday April 17th's SRA Meeting. The meeting starts at 12pm but the MSU elections won't be till a few hours in.
For me personally my greatest experiences and most productive work and influence on student life at McMaster has come through committee's who are essentially the workhorse of SRA and not through directly being an SRA member.

This is an excellent opportunity to get involved if you ever wanted to make a difference at Mac or even if you were say planning to run for SRA but didn't feel you have enough experience this year.
Please feel free to ask questions, there is a couple of us SRA members active on MI!
