Within each dorm students are elected to commissioner positions that are in charge of organizing projects and events pertaining to their specific area.

Additionally, a member of the Office of Sustainability hosts a dinner/meeting once a month with all of the commissioners. The meetings are used to touch base with the commissioners, to share events that occurred in the past month, and also to make announcements about up-coming activities.

Each dorm is allotted a total budget for hall council and each commissioner is given an event budget to use throughout the school year. The commissioners may use their event budget for different programs and projects on sustainability for their dorm.
