Leadership

There are many ways to make your mark at NYU!  

Consider getting involved in your residence hall council.  Here you can help plan large scale events, vote on policies and amendments that effect your hall, and participate in community service.  

Consider becoming involved in the Inter-Residence Hall Council, the umbrella organization to hall councils.  Here you can meet other student leaders from across campus and help promote the pillars of residential advocacy, community service and programming.  

Like recognizing others?  Learn more about the National Residence Hall Honorary.  Perhaps you will get involved in an Alternative Break program or the Violet Leadership Institute.  Once you are a junior or senior you can serve as a Resident Assistant on campus and help shape the experience of other students on campus.  It's all up to you how you choose to make your mark on NYU.

 Consider the programs listed on the right and be in touch.  We'd love to learn how we can help you make your mark!
