    Student Life Council 

    The Student  Life  Council  is  a  body  convened  by  Rose Hill’s Student Life Council Executive Board and the Office of the  Dean  of  Students  and  made  up  of  students, faculty, and administrators. The broad purpose of this council is to maintain contact between these campus constituencies and to encourage ongoing conversation and consultation on activities, events, organizations, student government, and collaborative efforts between students, faculty, academic affairs, and Rose Hill Student Life. The Student Life Council also votes on the final semesterly club and organization budgets, changes to club funding status , and provides general collaborative oversight of the budget process managed by the USG/SLC Budget Committee.
