Programs
Activities designed to meet students’
social, educational, cultural,
spiritual, and recreational needs.
Community Councils
Recognized Student Organizations (RSOs)
in each living area that address student
concerns; encourage involvement on
campus and in the community through
various programs; serve as liaisons to
the university's staff and
administration.
So why are these important?
- They help build community and prevent potential problems by creating an
atmosphere where trust and respect for
others can grow.
- They create a living/learning environment in which residents can learn
and grow from the skills and personal
development gained from these
activities.
- They provide an opportunity for residents to get to know themselves and
others.
- They facilitate the appreciation of differences among residents and
challenges barriers that inhibit
appreciation.
- They provide out-of-class education for a significant portion of
learning and development time (80-100
hours per week) that takes place in
campus housing.
- They provide much-needed relief from the pressures of college and
alleviate community problems such as
interpersonal conflicts, communal
damage, and high stress levels.
Here are just a few examples of great
programs you can expect in the residence
halls:
- Delaney's Crafts for K'Star -
Residents created goodies for the
children at K'Star, a local children's
shelter.
- Flato/LA's Scavenger Hunt -
Residents participated in a campus-wide
scavenger hunt designed to familiarize
students with campus locations and
services available to them.
- Residents Strike Back - Residents
purchased pies and threw them at the
RAs; all proceeds from pie sales were
donated to the Make a Wish Foundation.
- Trull's Pick it up & Pass it on -
Residents donated usable and unwanted
items to the Salvation Army. |
