The First Year Committee consistes of 2 First Year Representatives who are elected in September and are members of the Commerce Students’ Associations.

The First Year Committee puts on a social (usually the theme is Get Lei’d), fundraising events (eg. bake sales, pizza sales etc.) and finally charity events (such as Dinner & A Moose game and a Bison Buddy Bash sports night both for a local children’s charity). These events are always a lot of fun to both plan and attend.
