Fairhaven College Community Council Dear Fairhaven College Community, After finding areas of the school that could be improved upon, students at the Fairhaven College of Interdisciplinary Studies have come together and formed the Fairhaven College Community Council (FCCC). This council is devoted to building community with students, faculty, staff, and alumni of Fairhaven College by promoting student-led campaigns for change, organizing community events, and encouraging student collaboration. In order to achieve these goals, we are inviting you you to be a part of our wonderful team! FCCC is open to anyone who is associated with Fairhaven College. We hold weekly general meetings each quarter to address community concerns, questions, and ideas for change. We wish to foster connections between community members and students who share areas of interest to support and develop concentrations, as well as projects inside and outside of school. Possible campaigns we wish to work on are having compost accessible on the third floor of Fairhaven, addressing core curriculum, putting up more student art in buildings, and accountability relating to narrative evaluations. FCCC would like to formally invite you to our Spring Concert on May 17th, 2019 in the Fairhaven College Auditorium. This event will be in conjunction with Scholar’s Week, as it is a revamp of the historic UnDisco. Three student bands will be performing, and free food and beverages will be provided. Doors will open at 7:30 pm. If you would like any more information about the Fairhaven College Community Council, please do not hesitate to contact us at fc.community.council@gmail.com 1 week 5 days ago.
