A brief description of the institution’s formal participatory or shared governance bodies:

Council of Olin Representatives (CORe): https://www.olin.edu/academic-life/student-affairs-resources/student-life/clubs/
CORe is a student experience organization centered around two complementary mission areas. First, CORe is the representative body that acts as the student body government, helps shape continuous improvement goals for the student body, and works to amplify the value of student input in all change initiatives that occur at Olin College. Second, CORe is further charged with coordinating action initiatives where student input is involved as necessary, ensuring the realization of student body goals and change initiatives. CORe also helps to fund student clubs, organizations, and initiatives.
Faculty members participate in regular faculty meetings where all members have a say in academic matters. Furthermore, all faculty and staff are welcome to join committees, such as Academic Life, the Sustainability Steering Committee, and Olin Ahead, which advise Olin’s administration on certain topics.
