Residence Life

Student leadership opportunities

Inter-hall Council is a student organization that promotes productive communication between housing residents and the college administration. IHC encourages student involvement in all aspects of the college experience and increases resident involvement in voicing their concerns and planning programs within the residence halls.

House councils build community among residents by giving them a platform to voice their concerns and address issues in the residence halls.

The National Residence Hall Honorary is made up of the top 1 percent of student leaders who live in college housing. NRHH recognizes outstanding leaders on campus and contributes to the college community through programs, community service and other activities relevant to current events at SCAD.
