The Columbia College Student Council is the elected undergraduate student government, representing the interests of all College students. CCSC comprises a five-person executive board, four standing committees and four class councils. The council’s primary goal is to address issues important to the campus community, plan events and programming for students and serve as a liaison between students and University administration. CCSC is also responsible for the allocation of student-life fees to various Columbia governing boards and to student organizations through co-sponsorships.
Three College students elected to the University Senate sit ex officio on the CCSC. The Senate is a University-wide legislature that represents faculty, students and other constituencies and makes policy on a range of issues that affect the entire University or more than one school.
