What’s Up with College Council?
College Council is the student government at Williams. Since its inception, the Council has worked diligently as the campus-wide student representative body to represent all student interests and bring about positive change to our beloved community. This rich history of student activism and engagement is what allows Williams students, through the Council, to remain deeply entrenched in dialogue surrounding campus issues, to improve the campus through student-led initiatives, to create a vibrant community comprised of student organizations representing the many different interests on campus, and to look critically at Williams for a sole purpose: to improve the campus for everyone. The College Council also manages the Student Activities Tax and oversees the allocation of over $500k to fund campus wide entertainment, student organizations, lectures, and whatever else comes to mind to any student on campus!
