Who are we?
We serve as an advisory body for the residential colleges
here at Northwestern University. Our membership is composed of
the presidents of the eleven residential colleges and seven
executive officers. Each of the six vice presidents specializes
in an area specifically relevant to the residential college
community: academic affairs, financial affairs, inter-college
relations, philanthropic affairs, public relations, and social
affairs. The president presides over the entire Board and
coordinates long-term planning.
We hold general meetings every week in which we deal with
problems and issues that arise during the week in individual
colleges, plan activities for the entire residential college
community, and discuss items for presentation to the University.
In addition to these weekly meetings, the Executive Board meets
every week to guide the Board's agenda.
The Residential College Board is responsible for a number of
large-scale social events every year, including the Fall Formal,
Winter Quarter Quiz Bowl, the annual RCB Field Day, and Rock the
Beach, an New Student Week event on North Beach open to all
students.
