The MRFA Welcomes new members for the 2025-2026 Academic Year

The MRFA welcomes our new members who are coming to MRU in 2024-2025. We hope to see many of our new members in the faculty centre and at upcoming meetings and events throughout the year! The first event is a welcome back Brunch on September 8 and a welcome back social event in the afternoon on September 15. Get more details in our Weekly Bulletins (submit a CASL consent form to ensure you receive the Weekly Bulletin).
