Residence students have the opportunity to be involved in leadership on campus from day one through Residence Action Council (RAC), a student governing body comprised of elected representatives from each community in Residence. RAC members

Within residence and campus, various student groups, clubs and committees and volunteer opportunities exist to provide ways for students to get involved as much or as little as they desire.

Lifestyle & Living Learning Communities We offer both lifestyle and living learning communities (LLCs) for students. Students in a Lifestyle Community request a substance-free or cannabis-free area to live. A Living Learning Community (LLC) is the integration of students who share similar interests, such as an academic subject or non-academic area of interest, into a Residence community with programming and support from various areas within the institution.

Support In addition to the Residence Life Staff, Housing Services also employs two Transition & Support Coordinators (TSCs) that support the students living in Residence. TSC's focus on connecting students to mental health and wellness resources on campus, helping students cultivate the skills for managing the transition to Brock, and facilitating wellness education and programming.
