About the
Inter Residence Council
The Inter Residence Council is the governing body for all residents living on campus. IRC was created in 1972 to allow the residents to have a voice in their halls and on their campus. The Inter Residence Council is comprised of five executive board members and has a general council.
The IRC Executive Board meets on a weekly basis with advisors to discuss upcoming programs and the issues that arise on campus. The executive board attends conferences each semester to enhance and support the development of the organization, allowing it to develop and branch out across the northeast and the nation.
The Inter Residence Council plans and facilitates programs for the residents on campus. It is our goal to facilitate a wide variety of programs that will peak the interests of all residents on campus.
Each residence hall is governed by a Hall Council, which is open to every resident. Hall Councils organize building and area social programs, assist in determining building policies, and manage a budget for all hall activities. Hall Council positions include floor representatives, committee representatives and the executive board positions. The executive board positions on a hall council usually consist of a president, vice president, treasurer and secretary. The executive board works with the hall director and the program assistant to run effective meetings and make the campus life more inviting.
The general council of IRC is made up of four hall council members from each hall. Every Monday, the IRC executive board meets with the general council to discuss campus-wide events and issues. This meeting takes place at 4:15 pm in Bellin A and B, located in the Student Center.
IRC works to reach out to the rest of the campus community whenever possible. With two representatives on the Student Union Board of Governors, IRC has a strong voice on campus wide issues.
The Inter Residence Council office is located in Barrows Hall, Room 106. If anyone is interested in joining IRC, please feel free to attend one of the meetings or talk to a hall director about getting involved with a committee.
