UPDATE: DEADLINE EXTENDED TO THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24TH AT 5:00 PM

 

What is the Community Council?

 

The Community Council serves as a forum in which all segments of the College community have a voice in non-academic issues facing the college.

 

About:

- The Council consists of 20+ students, faculty, staff and administrators that meet once per week for 1.5 hours to discuss issues and pass resolutions that go directly to the President of the College. With representative membership, Community Council deliberations and decisions take into consideration the interests and concerns of the whole community. The diverse membership assures that each member of the council heas and understands the views of the other sections of the community, thus linking the four groups that compose the Middlebury College community. 

- Voting members are selected or elected by their respective body – students, faculty or staff - though all community members are encouraged to attend meetings.

- Previously discussed issues include surveillance cameras, hard alcohol policy and the Honor Code.

- The 2015-2016 Co-Chairs are Katy Smith Abbott, Dean of the College, and Tiff Chang ’17.5.

- The student selection process is run jointly by the student Co-Chair and SGA Director of Membership.

- The council is looking for a group of 8 students of many backgrounds and experiences at Middlebury.
