Student Council

The Bennington Student Council started as an institutional effort to enforce shared governance between the students, faculty, staff, and the administration. In continuation of that effort, a charter for the formation of the student council was prepared from a tutorial designed by a representative student body. In 2022, a general election was conducted based on the charter. The first student council was formally elected in October 2022 for the academic year 2022–23. The council acts as a bridge between Administration and the Student body to ensure student participation in college governance and other important matters.
