Get Involved
Are you interested in opportunities to enhance the residential experience for yourself and others? Here are some ways to get involved.
Opportunities for Undergraduate Involvement
FOR RESIDENTS
AREA COUNCIL EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
AREA COUNCIL BUILDING REPRESENTATIVES
Each building in an area has at least one Building Representative on the Area Council. Building Representatives serve on Area Council committees for special events and initiatives. They also work to encourage residents of their buildings to participate in the life of the area. This position is an excellent way for new students to get involved in leadership on campus.
RESIDENTIAL COLLEGE BOARD
RESIDENTIAL COLLEGE EXECUTIVE BOARDS
NON-RESIDENT INVOLVEMENT
Students who do not live in one of the residential colleges or GREEN House can still participate by becoming a "non-resident" member. Non-resident members of residential colleges or GREEN live in a different building on campus or off campus with the ability to participate in programmatic opportunities offered in the community.
The application review process will take a minimum of 1 week after being submitted. You will be contacted by the Office of Residential Experience regarding your application status.
