Sauvignon CommUNITY

By joining Sauv CommUNITY, students seek and commit to active involvement in cooperative (co-op) teams, which are designed to foster positive community, investment, and pride in the students’ living environment. Students choosing to live in Sauv CommUNITY will be expected to commit to participating as a member of a Co-op Team. Each Sauv CommUNITY resident will be part of one of six committees within his or her building. The residents of Sauv CommUNITY, with the assistance of a Co-Op Team Leader, will contribute to the active planning of programs and events that best suit their building and the overall community. Sauv CommUNITY residents will have the unique opportunity to interact and work with Community Service Advisors and Co-Op Team Leaders.
