Residence Council
Welcome to the Residence Council at the University of Waterloo. The Residence Council is a group of students who live in Waterloo Residences and work together to represent the interests and needs of all residents. The Council members are very involved and take an active role in making residence a fun and exciting place to live.
Mission of the Council
The mission of the University of Waterloo Residence Council is to represent the interests of the residents by creating a greater sense of community through facilitating social and educational events. Residence Council is the official representation for all students living in Waterloo Residences. All residents are invited to get involved and to come to Council meetings to propose and plan events.
Why should I join ResCouncil?
There are so many reasons, but here are the Top 10:
- You'll meet new friends from all over residence
- You can help plan great events
- It looks great on a resume (co-op anyone?)
- We have a budget for events and you'll get a say in how it's spent
- You'll be the first to know everything that is going on in residence
- It's not a huge time commitment (a one hour meeting every 2 weeks)
- You'll develop great skills (like communication and event planning)
- We have cool freebies and great snacks
- ResCouncil is a great first step to getting involved on campus (past ResCouncil members have gone on to become Orientation leaders, Dons, and even Feds Executives!)
- It's a lot of FUN!
