Student Leadership Opportunities
Residents living in any building can join Area Council by serving as a general member. General Members 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.
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 House 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.
