Responsibilities

CC distrubutes the student activities tax among over 150 student groups. CC regularly debates important college issues and helps the administration gauge student opinion. Williams students have a big say in how the school is run, and CC and CC related bodies are the most effective places for that voice to be used.

CC also appoints all students to the student faculty committees These selections take place in the middle of spring semester. For a list of committees, see the CC website's list of committees. For students interested in applying for committee positions, please read the guide for writing a good self-nom.
