The MCU Student Council holds a formal council meeting at minimum once per month to plan and organize council activities. Members of the Council meet regularly with their advisor (Director of Student Services), the MCU Senior Leadership, and the student body.  The Council prepares and leads a new student welcome session each term, during PROD1000. For all other activities, the Council uses an as-needed committee structure for additional projects and action items.
