Student self-governance at its best! You can join a Committee to get involved in the IRC, meet new people, and have fun! IRC Committee members are a committed core group of creative, hardworking, independent, and passionate residents who want to invest in their community. Info sessions are held early each fall semester, and are a chance to learn more about what each committee does, apply for a committee chair position, and sign up to make a difference.
Please check each Committee's blog to get updates (see Committees underneath IRC Council on the left).

| Involved at UVA? Involved in the IRC? We are the liaision between the IRC and UVA. We have outreach through events and activities, and advertise the IRC during Application season.

| We organize IRC IMREC sports teams and casual pick-up games for IRC residents. Weekly games are soccer/football, basketball, and American football. We usually play outside (weather permitting) or inside in Memorial Gym. Do you and your friends play a different sport? Join us and create a team! It is guided by the Minister of Recreation. | We are into media, print and online media. Love photography? Official IRC photographers take photos of events and daily life. Love graphic design? We use InDesign and Photoshop to tailor flyers. Love HTML? We need people to manage the IRC website. We plan and compile an IRC yearbook showcasing residents and events throughout the year, and maintain the website with updates and photos. It is guided by the Prime Minister. . |
| ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE | |
| We like to have fun and we want the entire IRC in. We think of fun ideas, such as a paintball trip and bowling and peach picking. The Minister of Recreation leads this committee. |
