Other Student Organizations within the Office of Residence Life
 

SCOPE (South Campus Organization for Programming Excellence)

On South Campus, community members join to create the main body of SCOPE.  With a less formal structure than other Community Councils, the group is open to participation from all other students.  SCOPE has some of the largest programs on South Campus including a Welcome Back Carnival, a Casino Night and a Homecoming Bonfire.
 

NRHH (National Residence Hall Honorary)

The Syracuse chapter of the National Residence Hall Honorary represents ?the top 1% of student leaders? in the residence halls.  Members are inducted each spring semester based on academic achievement and service to residence life.  Inductees have demonstrated outstanding leadership in the residence halls.  NRHH is dedicated to recognizing community members for their leadership efforts.  The OTM (Of The Month) program is a way for everyone to participate in NRHH recognition efforts. 

LCAB (Learning Community Advisory Board)
This recently formed advisory board is comprised of students from every residential learning community.  In addition to providing feedback to learning community faculty and staff, they also run a variety of programs.
