Our students are deeply involved in organizing the events and activities of the FRC – intellectual, cultural, and social.

Ten returning students comprise the advisory council at the FRC, coming together in anticipation of the academic year and occasionally throughout the year to set our agenda of various events and activities. 

Working groups – ad hoc committees of our students – form for each event or activity and are responsible for planning and organizing each effort.  Students may serve on as many working groups as they wish throughout the academic year.  

In addition to their regular responsibilities with University Housing, our four resident assistants coordinate student life at the FRC.  They arrange the formation of working groups and work with them to move forward, aided by the FRC coordinator and residence hall director, as needed.

There is a standing committee to organize dean’s teas and other visits by faculty members to the FRC, as well as one to manage recruiting and admitting students.

Two assistants to the dean also contribute to organize activities and the management of the FRC.  The FRC dean is responsible for the strategic direction of the residential college.

Finally, room assignments at Rutherford Hall are managed by the FRC in partnership with University Housing, with priority given, based on a formula, to the most active members of the community.
