Role of a Community Representative
Overall, the role of a Community Representative is to support the well-being and cohesion of the Teachers
College community, fostering a positive and supportive environment, where all members can thrive. A TC

support at authorized and unauthorized events, protests or demonstrations.
Their responsibilities may vary depending on the context, but some common roles include:
1. facilitating dialogue and communication
2. ensuring policies are adhered to
3. promoting diversity and inclusion
4. ensuring that core College principles of freedom of expression are upheld

Important Policies to Know
Teachers College is committed to empowering its learners and leaders to advocate for societal change and social justice; however, it's imperative that advocacy not interfere with the ability for one to live, learn, an navigate campus life.

- Event Guest Speaker Policy
- Flyers & Postings: Bulletin Boards & Eboards Policy
- Protest & Public Demonstration Policy (Application Preview)
- Student Conduct Code
- College-wide Tabling Policy
