The University of Arizona Freshman Class Council Application
2015-2016
Freshman Class Council (FCC) is a program within the University of Arizona’s student government, The Associated Students of the University of Arizona (ASUA). Since 1913, ASUA has been committed to providing a voice for university students. Freshman Class Council seeks to further this mission by extending an opportunity for freshman to get involved. Freshman Class Council provides an outlet to the incoming Wildcats to make new friends, get involved on campus and learn more about The University of Arizona, specifically student government. This is an organization built on deep friendships that develop through constant interaction in philanthropy and service events, outreach opportunities, and University of Arizona spirit. Involvement on campus provides a sense of community and a home to many students, and FCC is an excellent venue for that involvement. Being a part of FCC opened so many doors for us during our first year of college. Congratulations on making the first step in enriching your UA experience. Cole Driver & Tori Romero Freshman Class Council Directors [email protected]
