任务

The primary objective of theme housing at 华盛顿 and det365app is to provide an environment where students can explore the interconnected relationship between what is learned and what is lived.  The theme communities bring together diverse groups of residents with common intellectual, political, and/or social interests. Providing opportunities for students with similar interests the opportunity to live together and participate in specially designed programs that cater to their interests. The Office of Residence Life supports the development of residential communities sustained by a commitment to intellectual inquiry, personal and collective introspection, 以及社会行动.

How to Create a Theme Community

Residents are encouraged to bring forth proposals for theme floors that meet the core goals of our housing program. Theme House communities are more than simply a place to live. They provide a valuable connection between a students' residential and social experience and the learning that occurs through service to others and the 社区. 像这样, we hold expectations for what our students will accomplish and learn from living within these communities.
