Jakob Cardinal
My name is Jakob Cardinal. I am in my fourth year of studies in the Bachelor of Commerce program, with a major in management and a double minor in supply chain management and innovation & entrepreneurship. My most significant intention in joining SAMU has been to create a greater sense of community within MacEwan and outside of MacEwan with our downtown community. Great things can happen when people come together from common goals, and I aim to be the voice of continued growth.
Being newly appointed to SAMU and voted onto the Leadership and Review Committee has put me in a prime position to attempt to maximize student engagement from business to arts. After living abroad and doing my courses asynchronously, I moved back to Edmonton with the sole intention of positively impacting ALL student experiences here at MacEwan University.
Students’ Council is the highest governing body within the Students’ Association of MacEwan University. It is comprised of 14 Councillors and five Executive Committee members. Councillor elections are held each Fall term.
Students’ Council approves bylaws, writes the policies that govern the activities of SAMU and also ensure expectations have been met. Essentially, the Students’ Council speaks on behalf of MacEwan students, and helps to make sure your concerns are being addressed and that your university experience is the best it can be.
