The First Year Council is a diverse group of first year student leaders and is designed to get freshmen involved on campus. Working hand in hand with SGA, this group aims to empower first-year voices in student government, help students grow as leaders, and give new students the agency to advocate for themselves. Through FYC, students form lasting connections with key administration officials, SGA members, and their fellow classmates. Students also learn how student government works and are able to form new friendships and learn how to be a dynamic student leader.

Our main goal is to voice the concerns/ideas of Oxford students and effectively implement them to ensure a sense of community on both campuses.
