Commuter students desiring to live on campus need to contact the Housing Manager. COMMUTER STUDENTS Students who li ve off campus are an important part of our university community. Because it may take more effort for commuter students to feel a part of a university commu nity, commuter students are strongly encouraged to interact with those students living in residence halls and to partici pate in student life on campus. Involvement in clubs and leadership opportunities is strongly encouraged. For under graduate students, the Student Senate and the Student Rela tions Board have designated positions which provide repre sentational status for commuters. Information and services for commuter students, including commuter hostel housing, are handl ed through the Student Affairs Office and the Department of Auxi liary Services.
