Community Councils
Neighborhood community councils are governing boards of students, Resident Fellows and professional staff working together to make decisions for their local neighborhood.
Neighborhood Community Councils Structure
Neighborhood community councils will be collaboratively led by the Neighborhood Program Director and a Resident Fellow Lead. Members of the council will include one student representative from each house, and neighborhood professional staff from Residential Education, Residential & Dining Enterprises, and Undergraduate Advising. These councils will address all aspects of the neighborhood and ensure a comprehensive integration of services and experiences including dining, facilities, design, and staffing, with regular, collaborative, and cross-functional meetings that foster mutually respectful dialogue.
Neighborhood Community Council Duties
Some of the primary duties of the community councils include:
- Establishing governance, oversight and practices that advance the principles of ResX, including creating a racially and socially just neighborhood.
- Supporting neighborhood programs that foster continuity, belonging, and community.
- Utilizing the breadth of knowledge and expertise within the council to execute neighborhood programs and initiatives effectively.
- Evaluating student proposals for use of neighborhood funds.
- Annually reviewing and approving neighborhood theme houses.
- Identifying common area spaces in the neighborhood that can be used by students for events, gatherings and meetings.
