Huron University College

Huron is currently governed by the Ontario Huron University College Act, 2000.[7] The act provides for an executive board composed of The Bishop of Huron, the Coadjutor and Suffragan Bishop or Bishops of Huron, the principal of Huron, the president of the Huron's Students' Council, the deans of Huron, the president of the alumni association, a full-time student from each of the Faculty of Theology and Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, and up to 12 additional members.[7] The Act also provides for an Academic Council to oversee issues relating to the academic life of Huron College.

As an affiliate of the University of Western Ontario, Huron is also subject to an Affiliation Agreement which outlines the relationship between both universities.[10] Under this agreement, the university grants degrees on behalf of Huron College and has authority to set common academic and admission standards in consultation with Huron and the other affiliate colleges, Brescia College and King's College. Huron retains the right to grant Honorary Doctor of Divinity degrees.[10]

The strategic plan for 2005–2010 aims to "nurture a sense of community respectful of individual differences and responsive to individual needs; to support an active student life which encourages the personal and intellectual growth of its members; and, through its chapel and theological programs, to affirm its heritage as an Anglican university."

The majority of students are enrolled in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, which offers over 60 undergraduate programs of study.[11] The remainder of students are enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs through the Faculty of Theology.[12]

Rough Park, its original property, occupied the block bounded by Grosvenor, St. George and St. James Streets in London Ontario. In 1951, Huron moved to its present location steps from the University of Western Ontario.

Huron is located on the western side of Western Road, across from the centre of the University of Western Ontario Main Campus. The University Community Centre (UCC) and the Weldon Library are also nearby.

The Administrative Wing includes the Silcox Memorial Library, the Great Hall and the Chapel of St. John the Evangelist. The Valley Wing includes Jago Courtyard and classrooms. The Huron dining hall is steps from the Western campus. Classroom W12, one of Huron's largest classrooms, which holds 120 seats, is used for many first-year courses and larger lectures. The Kingsmill Room in Huron's main building is used for larger events such as convocations and guest lectures.

Chapel

Huron is also home to the collegiate-style Chapel of St. John the Evangelist, which was built in the 1950s to replace the original chapel. The chapel has a seating capacity of 160 and includes a Casavant organ. There are also a number of Orthodox icons, including a 19th-century hand-painted Russian icon of the Holy Trinity. The chapel is open to students of all denominations.[13]

Silcox Memorial Library

The Huron University College Library is located on the main floor of the administration wing of the Huron campus. The library has a collection of over 165,000 volumes. The Kimel Family Information Commons has 20 PC workstations and wireless Internet access. Comfortable reading alcoves and private group study rooms are available in addition to personal study carrels. All registered students, faculty and staff at Huron and Western, as well as qualified guest borrowers may borrow from the Huron Library.

Huron has three residence halls: Hellmuth Hall, a co-ed residence accommodating approximately 98 first-year students; O'Neil/Ridley Hall, a co-ed dormitory, 185 first-year students; and Southwest Residence, a suite-style residence building, 56 first-year students. Huron also has two houses on campus, Brough House and Henderson House, which provide lodging for first-year and upper-year students.

The Huron University College Students’ Council (HUCSC) is a student government organization and non-profit corporation at Huron. It is committed to enhancing the educational experience and quality of life for all undergraduate students at Huron University College. The HUCSC works toward this mission in three main ways:

- Amplifying the collective student voice through advocacy on student issues, concerns, and priorities to Huron administration, faculty, and other community stakeholders.

- Providing programming to students in the form of social and academic events, as well as services like the HUCSC Clubs System, Intramurals, and the campus bar, the Beaver Dam.

- Creating opportunities for meaningful involvement in the Huron community, service-learning, and leadership-development for students.

There are typically 70+ members and positions on the HUCSC ranging from executive positions, elected councillors and representatives, hired bartenders, commissioners, coordinators, and associate vice-presidents. The HUCSC consists of 6 portfolios: the President's Portfolio, the Student Affairs Portfolio, the Student Events Portfolio, the Finance and Administration Portfolio, the Communications Portfolio, and the Governance Portfolio.
