SECTION 3.2
Welcome to Emory College from College Council

College Council is Emory's oldest and largest student governance organization, representing the students of Emory College of Arts and Sciences.
Since 1955, our mission has been to earnestly and faithfully serve and represent students as they pursue theirs.

Welcome to Emory University and Emory College of Arts and Sciences! On behalf of the entire Emory College student body, we are so excited to have you joining our community. As you will undoubtedly see from your first day on campus, Emory is home to an incredible community of engaged and dedicated students, faculty, and staff.

We encourage you to make the most of your time here and we cannot wait to see the incredible things you accomplish over the next four years. From joining one of our hundreds of student organizations to chartering your own club to running for office, there are so many ways to get involved from your first moment on campus. Every single member of the 64th College Council is here to serve you along that journey, so please do not hesitate to get in touch and get involved!

College Council works every day with our partners in Emory SGA, Oxford SGA, the BBA Council, and the Emory Student Nurses Association to advocate for the needs of students throughout Emory University. Our Vice Presidents of Student Affairs leads a committee dedicated to addressing any issue, concern, or question you may have. We also hold presidential office hours every Monday from 1:30 to 3:30 PM for you to share your ideas and concerns.

Most importantly, the College Council Legislature meets every week to allocate funds, consider legislation, and serve as a forum for the concerns of every student. We invite you to join us for a special meeting in Convocation Hall at 7 PM on Wednesday the 4th of September with Emory College Dean, Michael Elliott. We hope to see you there or at one of our many events during orientation and we wish you the best of luck during the next four years!

Sincerely,
Jacob Hicks, President (pres.cc@emory.edu)
Hithardhi Duggireddy, Vice President (vice.pres.cc@emory.edu)

GETTING INVOLVED WITH COLLEGE COUNCIL

Run for Office

Every fall the first-year class elects five College Council First-Year Legislators. They vote on bills and resolutions, oversee the distribution of nearly half a million dollars of student activity funds, connect with student organizations, and work to advocate for the needs of Emory College students. Legislators are the pulse of the Council as they champion student advocacy, making campus and college-wide changes.

As the governing body of Emory College, the College Council also oversees the election of the two Emory College First-Year SGA Representatives, who represent Emory College in the Student Government Association.

Look for more information about fall elections in your Emory email in the coming weeks.

Attend a College Council Meeting

College Council meets weekly at 7 PM to serve as a forum for student concerns. In these meetings, we also consider legislation and student activity fee allocations for the students of Emory College.
