Marketing and Communications is a resource for the communications of events, activities, and initiatives that come from all committees. In addition, we encourage participation and feedback from the student body through outreach efforts through our platform Speak Up Uva. Our goal is to effectively incease attendance at General Body Meetings, facilitate the sharing of ideas to better the univeristy community, and to communicate resources that Student Council has to offer to the student body.

Speak up uvaSpeak Up UVa is a public forum to provide the chance for you, as students, to address the issues that you see around Grounds. We encourage participation and feedback from the student body by getting students to sign-up and voice their concerns or proposals for new Student Council initiatives. This helps promote M&C’s vision to make Student Council more accessible and ready and ready to listen.

Fall and Spring RecruitmentRecruitment is an extremely important initiative for Student Council. With the open application, Student Council no longer rejects applicants. Student Council cannot function effectively without the help and presence of talented, dedicated individuals. M&C strives to continue to produce innovative materials to engage with students around grounds.

Photography campaignWith so many students on ground, this photography campaign will create an audience to highlight inhabitants of UVa. This is not limited to just students, but should include faculty and staff. Sutdent Council will serve as the moderator of this campaign.

Ball Pit partnership with student life“Take a seat. Meet a new friend.” The idea of strangers sitting in a ball pit was started by SoulPancake. The balls contain questions and serve as moderators for students. M&C will partner with Student Life. The Ball Pit is where students will be able to get in two at a time to voice their concerns about UVa, suggest improvements, and learn more about the person sitting in the ball pit with them.
