The 2021 Class Council is an organization dedicated to promoting the 2021 class. They shall look to plan and run activities targeted towards the class, promote class unity and class spirit and above all, be a positive influence among the class and the greater University community.

Membership Benefits
Members of the 2021 Class Council gain leadership and organization skills that can be applied to many facets outside of programming events. For example, each event takes critical analysis on if it will be successful; then we identify co-sponsors on campus; then we contact companies or facilities in the City of Rochester that will be necessary for the event; then we construct a
social media pipeline (what platforms? who will share? how will we find people to come?). Finally, being able to think quickly and adapt to spontaneous challenges is necessary while events are underway. These skills are useful for programming events but will be applicable to future scenarios that any Class Council member might face in the professional world. Additionally, Class Council is a platform for the members to connect with students on campus. Though our countless co-sponsorships with other SA recognized clubs/organizations and successful turnout at events, our Class Council members are well known around campus. We also make an effort for senior class members to reach out with any concerns/suggestions they have about our programming. This way, we have made an effort to be transparent with the campus about what the 2021 Class Council is doing.
