The Alma Mater Society (AMS) is the oldest student association in Canada and has been a central student organization at Queen's since its founding in 1858. Today, the AMS acts as a service, advocacy, and governing body on behalf of all students enrolled in AMS-affiliated programs at Queen's University.

The AMS is a not-for-profit entity created by the Society to ensure its continuing financial viability by overseeing the management of its services and associated financial affairs. It is bound by the By-laws and corporate philosophy of our Mission and Operating statements as set out in the AMS Constitution.

In addition to providing wage-based service staff positions for students wanting employment, the AMS seeks to support the Society's broader objectives through the provisioning of a high quality, relevant range of student funded services, that provide a wide range of employment opportunities and meaningful out-of-classroom learning and skill acquisition experiences for students. The Human Resources Office is responsible for ensuring that all AMS members receive equitable access to employment and volunteer opportunities within the AMS and that the experience is safe, productive, and welcoming. The Talent Acquisition Manager works with the Human Resources Officer to conduct hiring and ensure that all AMS services, offices, and commissions comply with AMS Hiring and Appointment Policy and Procedures. The Talent Acquisition Manager is also responsible for supporting any and all recruitment campaigns to ensure that all Queen's students are aware of the opportunities available through the AMS.
