Your hall committee, who they are and what they do
Updated on: 23 May 2024
Learn about the role of hall committees, how they can help you, and how you can join one.
Each hall of residence has a hall committee. It organises social activities and makes sure the opinions of students are heard by the residential management team.
The committees help first year students feel welcome and part of University life. They organise activities such as barbecues, receptions and balls, and game or film nights.
Joining a hall committee
Being on a hall committee is a great way to get involved with hall life, and students are encouraged to join their committee or help with its various functions.
An election is held in spring for the positions of:
- senior student, who chairs the committee
- deputy senior student
- secretary
- treasurer
- ball convener.
Around the start of Semester 1 the hall committee seek more appointments, including:
- charities representative
- environmental representative
- sports representative
- wellbeing representative
- additional committee members.
