The Rinker School of
Building Construction College Council represents
BCN students and acts as a liaison between the
students and the School’s faculty and administration,
the University's administration, Student Government,
and the Gainesville Community.
The Council consists
of twelve members: four student-elected officers,
one Council-appointed officer, and seven student-elected
representatives. The Council also includes one
student-elected senator. The Council's primary
responsibility is to physically and financially
support the student's educational activities.
The Council achieves this goal:
- by organizing and
funding various BCN activities;
- by creating and providing
a school-related display and slide presentation
for student organizations to use at national
conventions and trade shows;
- by supplying information
to the student organizations for community and
university service projects;
- by co-sponsoring
the BCN Homecoming Float.
To create a cordial relationship
between BCN students and students from other disciplines
in the College, the BCN College Council holds
joint meetings with the Architecture College Council
and co-sponsor ARC-LARC.
Other responsibilities
of the Council include organizing BCN Block Seating
for stadium functions, and presenting awards of
recognition such as the Outstanding Student Leadership,
Outstanding Student Scholarship, Outstanding Student
Organization, and Teacher of the Semester Awards.
Dr. Richard Smailes
is the faculty advisor.
