Student Advocacy Club
for Public Health Awareness
Empowering Each Other
The Student Advocacy Club for Public Health Awareness knows that our strength lies not only in the words we stand by, but most importantly through the actions of our initiatives. By leading through example, our vision is to engage with each other as students, and bring forth our skills and hopes for public health improvements to our community and further. We provide support to each other as MRU students through online forums, virtual events for staying social during the pandemic, instructor-led physical activities online to promote healthy living, and we connect people to comprehensive resources for mental health and addiction in Calgary and at MRU.
Activities & Events
Student Advocacy Club for Public Health Awareness is achieving more with our initiatives than ever before.
