Student coordinators apply and are appointed to their position by the faculty advisors (their term spans the entire academic year). In addition to having been BCQ students themselves, they have served at least two semesters as student leaders before being coordinators. The two coordinators (one for Wednesday and one for Thursday) are in charge of managing their student leaders and students, setting up and running large group classes and overseeing the entire operation of the Colloquium (e.g. class policies, meetings, etc.).
