Judy Genshaft Honors College Student Council

Student Council Members
TThe Judy Genshaft Honors College Student Council (JGHCSC) serves as a way for students to develop leadership/professional development skills, contribute to the local Tampa and St. Petersburg community, and network with honors faculty, staff, and students.

The mission of the Judy Genshaft Honors College Student Council is to develop a community of leaders by providing opportunities for leadership/professional development, social connectivity, and service in order to achieve a balanced honors experience. Students who are part of this organization will utilize digital technology to market and promote honors events, plan and facilitate JGHCSC events, and work with local community partners to create service opportunities for honors students.
