Residence Life Events & Campus Life
Residence Life hosts large monthly events like Grocery Bingo, Movie Night, Smore's Making, and more (pictured below)! We also offer smaller, more intimate events in the residence halls and in East and West Court. These events help students connect, meet their neighbors, and build community. There’s always something fun happening just steps from your door.
