The Niagara College Student Administrative Council (NCSAC) is gearing up for their 2025 General Elections, with nomination season just around the corner. As we approach the holiday period, it’s a great time to start thinking about the next generation of student leaders who will help shape the NC experience in the year ahead.
NCSAC is asking NC employees to help identify emerging student leaders in their classrooms, labs, and workspaces and encourage them to consider self-nominating. These roles offer students the opportunity to make meaningful contributions to NC student life, develop leadership and governance skills, and represent the voices of their peers across the College.

These resources replace the in-person information sessions held in previous years.
