Community Council
Community Councils represent the student leadership within the residence halls. There are roughly three residence halls in each community and two cabinet members. Community Councils meet on Thursdays at 5:30 PM in a residence hall lobby, or wherever the community council decides to go for their meeting.
Meetings are times when Community Councils work together as a group to plan programs for the residents in their hall that are engaging, and have a positive impact on the residents in their hall. Programs can stem anywhere from ice cream socials to advocacy discussions. See below for leadership positions!
