The GRF includes individual student volunteers, student representatives (RA’s, Cluster Leaders, Residence Council food/recycling reps, Sustainability Team members, student society rep) and one/ or two paid, appointed student co-chairs. The structure of the GRF will include at least one representative from each residence (Howe, Gerard, Risley, Shirreff, Eliza Ritchie, Mini-Residence, and O’Brien). At least one RA, one DSU food and recycling, and one Sustainability Team should be represented on the GR .
