Student Council
"None of us, including me, ever do great things. But we can all do small things, with great love, and together we can do something wonderful." – Mother Teresa
The Student Council at Loyola Academy Degree and P.G. College is a body of student representatives who work along with the management acting as a bridge between the students and the administrative authorities. For the past years, student council members have been playing significant roles in conducting and organizing events at college level. Student Representatives are selected from the UG and PG courses in the college. The student council consists of around 80-100 members per year. The students are nominated from each department of UG & PG and there is a screening test to assess their knowledge about the college. The selected students are asked to speak impromptu. This process is followed by a final round of interview. The students who excel in all the rounds and stand out from the others are selected as council members. These students who are diligent & responsible are capable of balancing academics and their duties as student council members, well enough. They live up to the mark in the academic area as well as co-curricular activities. The student council members are headed by the Head Boy and Head Girl at both UG and PG level respectively.
The student council works round the clock and organizes various events on the occasions like Teachers day, Christmas, Independence Day, Republic Day, etc… They also initiate events or talk sessions for Haritha Haram, Women’s day, Elections etc… The student council is a body that has representation in the Academic and Administrative Committees. The Head Boy and Head Girl of both UG and PG are student representatives for the Academic Council meetings that are organized every year. Their views and opinions are put forth and considered to be of utmost importance. They are also a part of IQAC/ AQAR committee and play a major role throughout the year. The student council members are also included in the committees of Resonance – Annual Intra-College Cultural, Literary And Fine Arts Fest. They are divided based on their portfolios into various committees present for the organization of Resonance such as Steering Committee, Documentation, Event, Risk Management, etc… The student council has representation in the committees for College Day and Awards Day.
