Wonnacott Commons Council

The mission of Wonnacott's Commons Council is to provide students with the ability to program events that they would like to see happen.  The council allows individual students to have agency within the commons, as portions of the student activities fee are allocated through the Council to individual student initiatives.

Wonnacott Council meetings are held TBD.

The Council Chairs

Commons chairs run commons council meetings, plan commons events, and work closely with the residential life staff to create a vibrant community.  Collectively, the chairs of the five commons make up the InterCommons Council (ICC) which allows for activity planning to occur between the commons.  Chairs can support individual student initiatives, so contact them if you have a great idea that you'd like to see happen.
