Please contact your Community Assistant or Campus Living Community Coordinator for more information about the following groups.
Community Council Accordion Closed
Community Councils are smaller programming and governing boards located in each community that seek to create engagement opportunities for community members to make a difference.
Community Councils accomplish this through quality programming, advocating for the community members in their communities and developing practical leadership skills. Community Councils strive to complement the community-building efforts of the CA Staff and other student leaders working within the communities.
- Quality programming. Varied and well-planned social opportunities are offered for residents at large to come together outside of events planned by the CA staff.
- Advocacy. Through representation at CLSA, communities can voice their opinions and seek feedback from community members in and out of the Community Council. Additionally, Community Councils seek to find meaningful ways of spending dedicated funds to benefit community members.
- Leadership Development. Both individual and group development are supported through skill-building opportunities created by CLSA and the Community Council Advisor. The community at large receives opportunities to develop leadership skills.
Project Perspective Accordion Closed
Project Perspective is a transformative campus initiative designed to foster awareness, empathy, and action within our community. This initiative is open to all students at any point in the year. Community members commit to embodying values that promote personal growth and collective understanding by taking Project Perspective pledge. The pledge encourages individuals to Stay Aware, by considering the impact of their words and remaining open to feedback. Seek Out Information, by actively educating themselves on important topics they may not fully understand. Engage in Conversation, by listening and contributing to meaningful dialogue. Cultivate Community, by creating spaces where differences are celebrated and similarities are strengthed. Finally, the initiative emphasizes the importance of Recognizing Privilege, urging individuals to acknowledge their advantages and use them to advocate for various voices. Through Project Perspective, our campus becomes a hub for respectful dialogue and shared progress where everyone can contribute to a more inclusive and understanding community.
