Alberta Students' Executive Council is the voice in government for over 90,000 post-secondary students. ASEC represents 15 diverse institutions across Alberta.
Our members identified this as a core priority this year and are proud to stand by so many others as we call for this important investment we know is an essential ingredient in sustainable economic prosperity and world-leading innovation.
The first week of school is here, and itβs not just a time for new classes. itβs a fresh start for advocacy, leadership, and community.
