Becoming involved is a key component of the overall college experience. Current research shows that students who become involved in student organizations and in leadership opportunities often have better overall success in college. Residential organizations represent the population within our residential communities, and enhance the campus housing experience by providing activities and programs for resident students. For more information about these opportunities, contact any member of the Residence Halls Association, its affiliated organizations, or a Student Housing staff member.

Park Council
Park Councils are the government organizations for each of the residential communities (Park North, Park South, Park East, Park West Central Park Suites, and the University Village Apartments). PC's are composed of a Park Director, Director of Marketing, and Director of Programming as well as Park/Floor Representatives who are responsible for organizing programs and events within their Park while addressing the needs and concerns of residents within their Park. Park Council meetings take place immediately following RHA Meetings and may include additional planning meetings as required for programming and addressing student needs.
