There is a big difference between attending CCS and being a part of the CCS community! Joining a student organization is a great & easy way to get involved. Each group offers different benefits. It all depends on what you are looking to find. Most importantly, Student Organizations can help to prepare you for a very competitive world after college, where people skills and out-of-classroom experiences are highly valued and expected as you move into your career. To explore all of the Student Organizations at CCS, check out the list on the Peacock Pride portal<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Can’t find what you’re looking for? Want to create your own Student Organization? It’s easy! Contact studentlife@ccsdetroit.edu to find out how you can create a new Student Organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Student Government is a duly elected body of student representatives that serve to represent and unify the College for Creative Studies student community. They work to further the goals and desires of the students, and serve as a bridge between the student body and the school faculty, staff, and administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n More information about the functions & processes of Student Government can be found in the Student Government Constitution<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Student Government meetings take place every Wednesday at 11:30am EST throughout the Fall and Winter semesters. Meetings are open to all students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To propose funding from Student Government, students must fill out an official Student Government Proposal for Funding. <\/strong>Students can edit the form directly in Acrobat, or they can print it, edit it, then scan it back into a digital format. It is also highly encouraged to put together a presentation outlining who you are, what you’re seeking funds for, and all the details that go along with it. The student will then give their presentation at the next Student Government meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If students are seeking funds for a Senior Thesis, they must come prepared with a solid plan.<\/strong> Sketches, cost breakdowns, floor plans, images of past work, research, etc. are all great information to back up the credibility of the proposal. Remember to be specific, diligent, and knowledgeable on the topic of the proposal. There will be times during the Student Government meeting where representatives will ask questions about the proposal & plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Completed proposals for funding must be submitted at least 1 day in advance in order to reserve a proposal presentation spot in the next meeting.<\/strong> Proposal forms can be sent to studentgov@ccsdetroit.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Download the Proposal for Funding form<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Student Government<\/strong> Brandi Keeler The Student Weekly Email submission process has changed! Starting Fall 2024, you will need to complete this form <\/a>to submit your graphics for the weekly email. Any questions can be directed to studentlife@ccsdetroit.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Student Advocate position was created to provide students a consistent, centralized point of contact for questions, concerns and\/or problems they may be experiencing on campus. The position is not intended to eliminate standard office and academic procedures elsewhere on campus, more to provide a supplemental resource for students. The Student Advocate’s primary rule is to ensure that policies are enforced fairly and that students are fully informed of what is being done and why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To contact the Student Advocate, please email Brandi Keeler at bkeeler@ccsdetroit.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All students are encouraged to disclose disabilities that they feel may affect their academic success. We want you to succeed, and our ability to offer you the best education is made possible if you are receiving the appropriate assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Students identified as having any type of disability are entitled and encouraged to request accommodations.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
