One of the major benefits of living in campus housing is the various opportunities to get involved and to meet other students who are pursuing similar majors and career paths!
The Resident Assistants within your building will be actively working to plan programs and events that will bring members of the community together to live, learn, and grow both as individuals and as a community. Take advantage of these events! They will be planned for YOU, to enrich your experience while living in campus housing! Additionally, the Resident Assistants are always looking for ideas for programs and events and will look to you for your input. After all, what would be the point of planning various programs and events, if nobody in the community was interested or cared about the subject matter? Programs that have take place in past years include (but are certainly not limited to): murder mystery nights, dances, trips to museums, pizza nights, ice cream socials, beach clean-ups, time management workshops, drawing workshops, film viewings followed by discussion, etc! The RAs will be a great resource in terms of helping to build community through these various events and programs...but do not hesitate to offer your services and assistance! It will be welcomed and will only contribute to a stronger, richer campus living experience for everyone!
Additionally, at the beginning of each semester, each residence hall will form a Hall Council. The Hall Council of each building is comprised of members of the building who are interested in being more involved within the community and who want to help plan events. Each Hall Council is slightly different, depending on the specific population of the building, but often there are specific roles (President, Vice President, Event Coordinator, etc) and the group will meet on a weekly or bi-weekly basis to plan events. The Hall Council will be advised by either the Resident Director or a Senior Resident Assistant and these individuals will provide structure and guidance as the group forms and develops into a functioning Hall Council. Once you move into campus housing, contact your Resident Assistant or Resident Director if you are interested in learning more about Hall Council and getting involved within your residence hall!
Can't wait to have you all join us on-campus very soon!
