The Ivy Council, at its meeting in Princeton, N.J., last weekend, elected Meredith Epstein '97 to be the group's president next year.
The Council includes members from the student governments of each Ivy League school and meets twice a year to discuss campus and national problems.
"I think it was clear to everyone in the Council she was the most deserving, the most qualified," said Student Assembly Vice President John Honovich '97, who also attended the Council meeting.
The Council also named Dan Tennebaum from Brown University vice president of external affairs, Michelle Crames from Cornell University vice president of internal affairs, Manisha Bharti from Harvard University treasurer and Stephane Clare from Yale University secretary.
Epstein said her responsibilities will include coordinating meetings, maintaining cohesion in the group and legitimizing the Council.
She said many members "slacked" this past year and she hopes to remedy this in the new Council. Epstein previously served as the Council's secretary.
The Council also unanimously passed a resolution proposed by Honovich asking for Ivy League schools to continue support for need-blind admissions.
Honovich said his resolution resembled the Student Assembly's statement calling for Dartmouth to continue to support need-blind admissions despite threatened financial aid cuts in Congress.
The Council also unanimously voted to send a letter to the Senate urging it not to reduce spending on financial aid for college tuitions.
Each college sends four voting members to the Council meetings. Epstein, Honovich, Scott Rowekamp '97 and A.J. Thoryk '98 represented Dartmouth.
