Student Engagement Counsel
The Student Engagement Counsel is Georgia Highlands College’s model of student government. It is composed of student representatives and faculty/staff representatives who work together for the betterment of the student body and its interests. The student representatives of the SEC make up the Presidents’ Leadership Council., which are the student presidents from all the student clubs and organizations at all campuses; plus a limited number of non-president representative slots called “student-at-large positions. Students interested in serving the “at-large” position should contact the Office of Student Life for an application. Although the SEC includes representatives from faculty and staff, a student representative serves as chair of the SEC, and is selected by the other Council members. The primary purpose of the SEC is to serve as the voice of the Student Body and act as a liaison between students and college administration in order to help formulate just and proper regulations pertaining to student government and to assist those persons designated to enforce those regulations. The SEC and PLC operate under the Constitution of the Student Body of Georgia Highlands College. The SEC also assists the Office of Student Life with its activities and events in a manner that strives to result in the greatest possible advantage and satisfaction of all students, both as individuals and as part of the Student Body as a whole.
