Theme Weeks
The Office of Residence Life sponsors several theme weeks with other departments every year. A committee is established for each theme week consisting of Student Affairs staff and students. All theme weeks include social and educational programs that are fun and have an impact on those who attend. Typically there is a main event or speaker and many free promotional items are given out throughout the week.
Romance, Respect, and Responsibility Week (TBD for 2009):
