Hall Councils

Join A Community Council!

Community Councils are an extension of Residence Hall Association Executive Board. Read more about them below.

What is a Community Council? 

At Georgia State each residence hall has student representatives who support the residents in their respective residence hall. Collectively, these representatives are know as the Community Council for their residence hall. From throwing destress events before finals to presenting some of the best holiday celebrations in residential life. 

Each council plays an essential role in creating an inclusive environment where students are not feeling pressured to fit in, but instead feel like they belong. Community Council members at each residence hall are at the forefront of making Georgia State University Housing a memorable experience for students living on campus.
