Joining the DMC allows students to develop leadership skills, advocate for their peers, and influence important decisions. It fosters a sense of community, empowers underrepresented voices, and provides valuable experience in teamwork and communication, all while helping to create a more inclusive and responsive school environment.

The DMC will represent the MDM student population at SFU’s Graduate Student Society Meetings and provide direction as to how student fees are used.

The CDM Mentorship Program aims to connect students with alumni to guide them in preparing for life after graduation.

An info session will be scheduled at a later time.
