Co-Op Mission Statement
Our Mission is to be a thriving co-operative community of students that provides:
- Good, quality, affordable housing
- A positive living environment
- Education of its members in the democratic running of our membership
We also help build the co-operative movement by educating our members and the general public about its principles and philosophy.
We invite you to browse through our pages to learn about the historic foundations of our 74 year old Co-operative.
To read about the original principles that govern all Co-ops of the world, go to Rochdale Principles.
It was quite a different world when Co-op was founded by a few enthusiastic students. Read some of the early stories and view authentic stills from a 1947 movie shot by Co-op members of yesteryear, in the History of Co-op.
Co-op is governed by students who live here and form our Board of Directors. A small number of Staff works here to assist members in living a harmonious, co-operative life. Read all about it in Co-op Organizational Structure.
Last, but not least, read up on what Co-op life is all about, to judge whether Co-op living is for you. Go to Co-op Life.
