Make sure to stay involved at every step of the way. These are the students who will be representing your voice on campus!

Community Council is Hampshire's equivalent of a student governance organization. Instead of only students, however, Community Council is comprised of students, staff and faculty. Serving together, Council’s duties include the following:
•    Regulations concerning the quality of life on campus and the well being of the college community.
•    Relations of Hampshire College to the surrounding community.
•    Collecting, maintaining, and distributing the Student Activities Fee.
•    Establishing, maintaining, and promoting the Community Norms.
•    Advocating for student, staff, and faculty interests

Council has four subcommittees which perform tasks specifically delegated to them. The Financial Committee (FiCom) does student group funding and finances, the Committee on Community Development (COCD) renovates and organizes student spaces on campus, the Committee on Community Activities (COCA) helps students plan events and organizes large campus events, like Halloween and Spring Jam, and the Safety Committee (SafeCom), organizes campus health and safety concerns and policy implementation.

Council meets weekly during governance time, 3:30-5:00 p.m. every Tuesday, in the Community Council Office, located in the rear of the Airport Lounge on the main floor of the Johnson Library Center. Council’s meetings and meeting minutes are open to the community.

The Executive Cabinet of Council (Chair, Secretary, Facilitator, Communications) meets Fridays at 1:30 p.m. in the Council Office. You can meet the Council executive cabinet in a more informal or confidential setting and also meet with us to add items to the agenda.
