Student Leadership Council

The CPO Student Leadership Council provides structured guidance and feedback on CPO programs, helping ensure alignment with the department’s mission to advance student success through academic support, leadership development, community service, and essential resources.

The Council is composed of student representatives who bring experience, promote awareness of CPO initiatives, and contribute to program development and evaluation. Members are selected each quarter based on their demonstrated commitment to CPO’s mission and may serve in leadership roles such as chair, vice chair, or secretary.

The Council meets regularly, engages in partnership-building and outreach, supports fundraising and resource development efforts, and plays a central role in fostering community connections and student leadership growth. The Student Leadership Council formally begins its work each year in October.
