About The College Councils
College Councils are the official student organizations of the eighteen different Colleges and Schools of the University of Texas. Councils serve a unique role on campus that cannot be replicated by any other student organization. Councils work to promote academic excellence, facilitate student-faculty interaction, and assist in career development. By keeping attuned to the particular needs within the individual Colleges, Councils act to represent their students in matters of College-wide concern.
Each individual College Council has a specific purpose and structure that is unique to their College. Their format, purpose, and structure is thoroughly explained in their constitution. Each Council, however, shares a common focus and purpose of serving students within their particular College.
Each College Council strives to improve the state of their College. This can be done by sponsoring programs, providing services to students within the College, and accurately representing the opinions of students within the College.
College Councils also serve as an important communication link in their specific College. Students should be able and welcome to approach your Council with questions or concerns. College Councils hear the concerns and ideas of a college’s students and voice those concerns to the college Dean on a regular basis.
