The IRC is the peak body representing the students of UNSW's residential communities.  

The Inter-Residence Council (IRC) is the chief representative body of the 3500+ on-campus residents of UNSW to the UNSW administration and local community. It is made up of eleven elected councillors from each member college for the academic year, who together elect their executive and are organised in subcommittees.

We work to foster a healthy and engaging wider college community by enabling opportunities to connect residents across colleges in collaboration, friendly rivalry, social and cultural experiences and more. We are charged with the responsibility to advocate on behalf of residents living at UNSW in relation to any matter that has an impact on residents, no matter how large or small.

Current Member Colleges: Basser, Creston, Colombo House, Fig Tree Hall, Goldstein, New, Philip Baxter, Shalom, UNSW Hall, Warrane, International

IRC President

G’day I’m Callum and I’m a 2nd year aerospace engineering student living at New College. As an involved and active member of my own college I got to experience an incredible and diverse community and get involved with previous IRC initiatives. I see the IRC as a great opportunity to promote college living and activities more broadly as well as promote connections between UNSW’s 11 colleges. As IRC president for 2023, I’ll be looking to run as many engaging events as possible for all colleges and work towards forging a connected inter-college community for all residents at our great University.

IRC Secretary

My name is Francesca, and I am a second year Economics student currently living on campus. This year it is my goal to work with my fellow executive team, as well as the broader IRC committee to make on campus living a community where people feel inspired to foster new friendships and experience all the diversity the UNSW colleges have to offer. As Secretary, I hope to improve the IRC presence at UNSW by partnering with the big societies on campus, creating and facilitating more daytime events and utilising our amazing Quad and Village Green spaces.

Hi, my name is Ebony Baggs! I am studying a Bachelor of Life Sciences and I am majoring in Ecology! This will be my second year at college and I have adored every moment of it, living on campus is a completely different and amazing experience. My goal as IRC Treasurer is to of course deal with the financial side of things, but also create fun and engaging new events that students will love! Working with the IRC team this year has been unforgettable and has given me the best experience for the future! Something that I admire about UNSW Colleges is that everyone is here for a laugh and a good time, everyone who attends these colleges are all here to make friends, live in the moment and make unforgettable memories as these are our good old days! I strive to create those memories for students through these events <3<3

Arc Delegate

Hey,

I’m Wen and I’m a second-year student from Taree, NSW studying
renewable energy engineering and chemistry. Having already lived at
college for a year, I believe the support residential colleges offer to
international and rural students is invaluable, and I have successfully
adjusted to university life thanks to the friends I have made in my
college. I know first-hand the IRC is integral in supporting college
residents and keeping colleges connected. This year, I’m the ARC
delegate for the IRC, and am looking forward to working with the IRC and
ARC to provide all colleges a range of fun, supportive, and inclusive
events and initiatives.
