The Community Committee (CoCo) has 6 members and is charged with assisting registered and prospective student groups, outreach to students, oversight of the University Organizing Center, and facilitating a respectful and mutually beneficial relationship between the student body and Middletown. It works with the Office of Student involvement (OSI), the Jewett Center for Community Partnerships (JCCP), and others to facilitate student group activities. Please email the chair if you encounter any issues. We encourage Wesleyan students to see themselves as citizens of greater Middletown and to treat members of greater Middletown as neighbors and friends. We promote awareness and action in the midst of often problematic town-university relations, and we encourage responsible, contemplative community service and activism.
