The impromptu pizza parties, late night talks and study sessions, outings about town to galleries, movies or hearing a local music group are part of the fun of living on campus and making friends. The Resident Assistants organize group events in and between the halls such as holiday decorating contests, the annual Super Bowl Party, and trick-or-treating within the halls for neighborhood children. The halls sponsor guest speakers, intramural sports teams, birthday parties and more.
