Judy Genshaft Honors College Student Council Members
The Judy Genshaft Honors College Student Councils serve as a way for students to develop leadership and professional development skills, contribute to the local community, and network with Honors faculty, staff, and students on the Tampa and St. Petersburg campuses.

VISION AND MISSION

The Judy Genshaft Honors College Student Council develops a community of leaders by providing opportunities for professional development, social connectivity, and service in order to achieve a balanced Honors experience.

Students who are part of this organization will utilize college resources to plan and facilitate Judy Genshaft Honors College Student Council activities, market and promote Honors events, and work with local community partners to create service opportunities for Honors students.

TAMPA CAMPUS

The Tampa campus Judy Genshaft Honors College Student Council (JGHCSC) has three committees for students to join: Events, Volunteer, and Marketing & Public Relations (MPR).

Each committee is led by two co-chairs. In addition, students may serve as president, vice president, or as community and leadership coordinators.

EVENTS COMMITTEE

  • Students in this committee can expect to be an active part of the planning process, help set up before the event starts, greet people, take charge of individual tasks, and clean-up after the event ends.

VOLUNTEER COMMITTEE

Works with local community partners to plan service opportunities for Honors students including working with children, animals, the elderly, local schools, and much more!

MARKETING & PUBLIC RELATIONS (MPR) COMMITTEE

Develops clever and unique marketing campaigns for JGHCSC events. Students do not have to be a marketing/advertising major to join! No experience necessary.
