Overview

The East Hall Engineering Community is a collaborative effort between the Department of Housing and Residence Education and the College of Engineering. Due to the proximity to the College of Engineering, many engineering students enjoy living in East Hall. The Resident Assistants in East plan and implement programs specifically geared toward Engineering majors – both academic and social. The engineering faculty also offers some specialized programming and is helping us plan for the future renovation of East Hall. Consider joining this community of engineers and discover a group of peers committed to academic success (and fun!).

About East Hall

Program Goals

  • Create an environment that invites opportunities for formal and informal interactions between residents, staff, and faculty.
  • Provide professional and paraprofessional staff who support and enhance the residential living experience.
  • Plan and implement programs and activities that integrate the in-class and out-of-class experiences of engineering majors.

Other Academic Resources

The ground floor of East is staffed daily by FUNgineers and includes the Graduate Hall Director’s office. The floor includes a quiet study room with internet access and a meeting room for group study. Study sessions and other educational programs take place in the Weaver basement throughout the year.
