Shea House Self Government...
is designed to give students 1) an opportunity to directly influence life at Shea 2) the chance to gain new experiences that will help them develop new skills and professional experience 3) receive the support of the university to realize their own ideas. What this looks like in action is a group of task teams working together to produce a Shea House newsletter to let the wider community know about what is happening at Shea, inviting and talking to guests on the Shea House podcast about their experiences learning new languages and adapting to new cultures, presenting these materials and capturing the essence of life at Shea via Shea House social media accounts, and any other idea or initiative that residents want to see realized.
Residents who are interested in these or any other creative projects should contact the PF about bringing these projects to fruition. Sign ups for these task teams begin in August of the new school year.

House Constitution
This is a student created and amended document that serves to:

- increase awareness and understanding of global culture, especially of the represented languages
Take a look and see how this government runs!
