These activities include social events such as dances, community dinners, and excursions to local points of interest.

We also offer residents educational workshops that support academic success, raise awareness around issues such as health and wellness and diversity issues, and teach important life skills for independent living.

The Residential Council in each community provides opportunities for residents to help shape the community they live in and sponsor additional activities within the residence halls.
