House Interest Communities

Experience a dynamic, experiential learning opportunity in your residence hall community by participating in one of our West Campus House Interest Communities.  These communities are a small group of students (15 - 20)  who want to focus on a topic in depth with a faculty instructor to guide the way. Together the students and faculty instructor participate in specialized activities in and out of the classroom, then bring what they have learned and experienced to the other members of their Residential House and the Campus Community.

Each House Interest Community is organized around a 1-credit activities course, RESC 201. The activities are planned and coordinated through that course.  All first-year students will be sent a brochure and application to join a House Interest Community. If accepted your assignment will be on West Campus in the house where your Interest Community resides and you will be registered for the 1-credit activities course.
