2. Even though you cant visit us in person at the moment - there are many ways to experience Grebel virtually - check us out to see if were a good fit for you! |
Grebel is far more than a place to eat, study and sleep. We want you to be involved! In fact, its been shown that a dose of extra-curricular involvement helps you be successful academically.
Conrad Grebel Student Council works in consultation with the Director of Student Services to oversee student initiated programs, manages the student activity fee, funds a wide range of extra-curricular activities, and contributes in setting the direction of college life.
Student Council has brought upgrades to the student lounges including furniture and electronics and games, upgrades to the building specifically things like wheelchair accessibility in the Great Hall, policy changes including the annual switching of males/females on the third and fourth floor, Flap Jack Fridays, Mocktails, dances, and so much more!
The Larger Leadership Team (LLT) is an extension of Student Council. LLT consist of a group of students appointed to represent specific interests within the Grebel student body. LLT has been responsible for such things as solar panels on the roof, Harmonie for Haiti (a fundraising initiative), and Grebelwear. Representatives from many Grebel clubs sit on LLT, including Special Projects, Food Rep, Athletic Reps, Gents, QuAQ, Grebelspeaks Editors, FLOW, Environment Reps, Solar Grebel, Peace Society, and Yearbook.
Informal involvement is exhaustive (not exhausting). Students at Grebel are always creating new ways to get involved. This type of involvement could include but is not limited to: retreats, theme nights, banquets, patio hockey, volunteer initiatives, working with a start-up, chapels, canoe trips, reading week trips, bible studies, intramurals, coffee houses, art exhibits, club, yoga, french club, dessert night, TED talks, book club, mocktails, and dances.
