Community Relations Council

The purpose of the Community Relations Council (CRC) is to connect university resources with community needs through a formal umbrella structure that positions internal and external constituents to deal with areas of mutual concern and to recruit volunteers to help develop high-quality events benefiting the university and the San Marcos community.

The CRC meets two times a year.

Discussion topics include:
  • Pride and Tradition
  • Pack It Up and Pass It On
  • Bobcat Build Community Involvement
  • Small Business Development Center
  • Student Publications
  • Community Presence on campus
  • School Partnerships
