Student Council

Khalifa University strongly believes in the active participation of students in the governance of the university. Every student on campus is eligible to serve on a student council, university committee or departmental advisory board as applicable (see STL 5610 Student Governance). The purpose of the Student Council is to provide a platform that promotes interaction among students and the University body. The Student Council works closely with Student Services to foster a spirit of community, understanding, and harmony throughout the campuses. The work of the Council also aims to provide students with unique opportunities to develop life skills and leadership qualities by organizing activities and hosting events of interest to students. All KU students in good academic standing are eligible to run for office.
