Description

We will be doing our CC recruitment event on Tuesday Sept 9 at 5pm in the SCHU TV lounge.

Participation
In the interest of funds, only one food option will be served. The location is accessible, in a first floor lounge.
Belonging
The purpose of the event is to get to know as many residents as we can, while also advertising a way they can participate in our community.
Respectful Language
This event has been marketed as a welcome event, and one at which residents are not required to participate. That is, they are welcome to simply get food.
Logistics
Not relevant; no furniture is required aside from a table for the food.
Purchasing
Cane’s contributes to the local economy.
Waste management
Trash will be disposed of appropriately, and recycling will be conducted if applicable.
RSVPing and attendance
Attendance will be measured, and chicken will be given out as long as it is available. Leftovers are expected, however.

Schuhmacher Community Council

The Schuhmacher Hall Community Council serves as the official student leadership body representing the residents of Schuhmacher Hall at Texas A&M University. Operating under the oversight of the Residential Housing Association (RHA), the council is committed to enriching the residential experience through student advocacy, purposeful programming, and the cultivation of community engagement and pride.

About Schuhmacher Hall

Located on the northside of campus, Schuhmacher Hall is a balcony-style residence hall offering 84 rooms across four floors. Housing options include single, double, and apartment-style rooms with suite-style bathrooms.

Council Responsibilities

Program Development: Organize and implement engaging hall events using a designated programming budget to promote resident involvement.
Resident Advocacy: Serve as a liaison between residents and Residence Life by communicating feedback and student needs.
Facility Improvement: Lead minor hall enhancements that improve daily living and shared spaces.
Community Building: Foster a welcoming, inclusive, and spirited hall culture through leadership and tradition.

Benefits of Involvement

Participation in the Schuhmacher Hall Community Council provides students with opportunities to develop leadership competencies, form meaningful peer relationships, and directly influence their residential environment. Council members gain hands-on experience in event planning, advocacy, communication, and collaboration — all within a supportive, student-driven leadership model.
