Hall Council is the student government within each residence hall. Hall Council programming, activities and equipment is made possible through residence hall dues. The budget for each residence hall is determined by the residents who pay the annual hall dues of $20.00. The Hall Council then decides how to spend these funds. Input from all residents helps in this decision making process. Participation in Hall Council is very important. Activities planned by the Hall Council and paid for by the hall dues include hall dinners, theme parties, guest speakers, health awareness programs, study breaks, and skill-building workshops. This organization represents only one of the many ways to get involved in campus living.
Meet Your Eisenhower Community!

What is the most fulfilling part about creating a community? The transition from living at home to living in a dorm hall can be an overwhelming and unique experience. The dorms should be a place where everyone feels safe, comfortable, and welcomed, and being at the forefront in cultivating such a positive environment will always be an incredibly fulfilling experience.

What is the most fulfilling part about creating a community? I love seeing residents grow together within a community! They share their interests and passions with each other and that allows for more students to not only learn more about the people they’re spending time with, but more about a subject that they can soon enjoy as well! :)

What is the most fulfilling part about creating a community? I love getting to watch residents grow over the course of the semester/year as they develop friendships and relationships with the RA staff and each other. I love helping them set goals for themselves and watching them actually achieve them. It makes me happy to see residents engaging in programs and finding their home away from home.
