Residential Engagement Council

REC enhances the residential experience by:  

• Creating Community Experiences 
  REC sponsors large-scale programs and traditions, such as Late Night Breakfast, that bring students together.  

• Developing Student Leaders 
  REC connects students with leadership experiences through service, involvement, and conference participation. 

• Supporting Residential Communities  
  REC invests in initiatives and resources that foster connection, engagement, and community throughout the residence halls. 

Students living on-campus contribute to a REC fund as part of their housing costs. (This charge previously was labeled "IRA Fee") REC reinvests these funds into the residential experience by supporting:  

• Large-scale programs and campus traditions, such as Late Night Breakfast 

• Recreational and engagement supplies available through residence hall front desks 

• Student leadership and community-building opportunities  

REC is affiliated with: 

• National Association of College and University Residence Halls (NACURH) 

• North East Affiliate of College and University Residence Halls (NEACURH) 

• Through these affiliations, UVM students may participate in conferences, leadership experiences, and networking opportunities with students from colleges and universities across the region and nation.

REC is led by an Executive Board of student leaders who oversee the organization's operations and initiatives.
