All residents have the opportunity to join the neighborhood community council for the neighborhood in which they live. These Councils are a programming and advocacy board focused on advocating for improvements in residential life and hosting events focused on community building and education. Councils allow students to grow as student leaders and make meaningful changes to residence halls in their neighborhood.
