Wesley Student Council

Wesley's Student Council seeks to promote the common welfare of the student body. We act as the voice of the student body through providing an open forum in which concerns can be raised. We also sponsor various student organizations and work with the administration, faculty, staff and community as a whole to ensure a supportive academic climate.

If you're interested in finding out more about us,

Wesley Campus Advertising Guideline

In collaboration with student council, the community life office, communications and resident life Revised Wesley Ad Guideline was created to help streamline event everyone spread the word about important events, meetings, or gatherings.

Please remember the best way to start, after deciding on an event is to check your proposed dates with the master student calendar to check for possible conflicts and collaboration opportunities.
