Hall Government
Hall Government is a student organization within each residence hall. Each hall has a constitution and is responsible for the activity budget. Officers are selected according to the constitution and the Residential Life Coordinator/Administrative Community Advisor serve in an advisory capacity.
The Hall government is made up of volunteer student leaders called hall officers who form the Executive Council. The Executive council, along with the floor representatives, forms the Hall Government. Being involved with Hall Government is an excellent way to meet new friends and gain new skills.
