Events
Many special events take place at Cowell including College Nights, a tradition established at Cowell in 1965. College Night is a special dinner followed by a program of lively entertainment in the company of friends. Other college activities, mostly planned by students, include dances, poetry slams, open mics, films, live music, and other recreational and social activities.

Student Leadership
Cowell has an active and lively student government, the Cowell Senate. This group meets weekly to discuss student issues, allocate student activity monies, and represent Cowell students in campus-wide government and committees. Senate members function as liaisons between Cowell students and the university.
A Chair and Vice Chair are elected in the spring. During the year, anyone may join the Cowell Senate by attending regular meetings.
Community Involvement
Our emphasis on building a strong supportive community provides ample opportunities for students to get involved in a variety of activities. Some of these activities have included yoga, volunteering in the community, and participating in PJs at the PH - a program held annually at the Provost House.
Facilities
The Fireside Lounge, located next to the cafe, is available to all students and is the venue for many student events.
The Page Smith Library, named in honor of Cowell’s founding Provost, serves as a reading and study room. The library is a close and cozy alternative to the larger campus research libraries.
