Get Involved!

Hello fellow residents.

By now, you have all heard the news from MUN, and frankly put, it's disgusting. Many of us came to residence for the simple reason that we realized we had a guaranteed place to stay as long as we maintained good academic standards. Now, the university, in a clear money grab, wants to eliminate a large part of the residence experience, and essentially evict senior students starting next semester. We cannot allow this to happen, and we cannot let this decision pass by without protesting. SOAR, the Society of Active Residents, has been created to present a unified voice to the President's Office, Senate, and Board of Regents at Memorial to convince them to change this ultimately ineffective plan, and to ensure those who deserve to stay can stay, and pass on their knowledge to incoming students.

We must take action, but we must do it quickly and intelligently. This is not the time to curse Housing, as we know this was a decision levied on an unwilling Housing by Memorial University higher-ups. Read this letter, send an email to society.of.active.residents@gmail.com , and join SOAR. Together, we can prevail.
