College Government

The close relationship between student leaders and campus administrators is a fundamental feature of life at Wellesley. Student leadership is vested in College Government and the House Presidents Council. Senior administrators meet with student government and residential hall leaders on a monthly basis through a group called Unity. The Dean of Students and Associate Dean meet with College Government each week. In addition, students serve on virtually every college committee in order to help shape the Wellesley experience. Information about key student leadership teams can be found on the College Government site.
