Fellows' Council
Fellows' Council is a fellow-led committee that meets to form new initiatives, social opportunities, and projects that support all fellows. Council members act as a liaison to the fellowship leadership and have the opportunity to work on projects to improve their community's fellowship experience and well-being. Members are elected from each program around May and serve an academic year term.

Big /Lil' Sib Program
The Big/Lil' Sib Program matches incoming first-year fellows with second or third-year fellows from outside of their divisions. Incoming fellows have an opportunity to connect with their Big Sib before they arrive to campus, and during orientation. Our hope is that this connection helps foster a broader sense of community among fellows and provides an opportunity to expand both professional and social networks.
Social Events
The Council has discretionary funds to plan activities for the fellow community. In the past, they have organized yoga sessions, hikes, quiz nights, and happy hours. Contact your division representative with activities you'd like to see.
