Inter-House Council (IHC) is a student representative body composed of a six-person Executive Committee and a representative from each House in UChicago's housing system. The group is connected to College Housing and is overseen by the Director of College Housing. At weekly meetings, IHC representatives come together to discuss topics related directly to students who live in the housing system, including dining, housing, facilities, transportation, and security. Additionally, IHC representatives coordinate several social and philanthropic events throughout the year in order to promote inter-house community-building. IHC representatives act as open lines of communication between College Housing and their individual Houses, as well as civic leaders within their house communities. Students from IHC have the opportunity to sit on several University committees due to their access to information about the interests of the undergraduate population living in housing. These committees include the Campus Dining Advisory Board, the Transportation and Security Advisory Board, and the Housing and Facilities Advisory Committee. Inter-House Council general assembly meetings are from 7 to 8 pm in the South Lounge of the Reynolds Club on Tuesdays from 2nd to 10th weeks. Representatives are requested to notify the president and send a proxy from their house if they ever have to miss a meeting.
