Join the Student Advisory Committee
Students who participate in the Student Advisory Committee take advantage of an opportunity to have a voice in decisions that affect the quality of student life. The administration takes seriously recommendations made by this committee and frequently acts on the committee’s input immediately. Past projects the Student Advisory Committee helped develop include the Flex plan, theme housing options, D2 and West End Market designs and names, residence hall card access, housing application process improvements, and much more. This dedicated committee of 15 or fewer students meets approximately every three weeks with the directors and other staff members to provide suggestions, advice, and feedback regarding housing, dining, and residence life facilities, policies, programs, services, and staffing. To be eligible for consideration, a student must live on campus and/or have a dining plan, be available to attend meetings, and be genuinely interested in providing input on housing, dining, and residence life issues. http://www.studentprograms.vt.edu/reslife/sac.php
