East Hall Engineering Community
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 staff in East plan and implement programs specifically geared toward Engineering majors – both academic and social. Consider joining this community of engineers and discover a group of peers committed to academic success (and fun!).
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
- Peer Mentor Office Hours: Peer Mentors in the East Engineering Community are upper-class engineering students who live in the hall. They serve office hours during the afternoon and early evening hours throughout the week. They can assist residents by answering questions and referring students to available resources on campus.
- Study space: The ground floor of East Hall includes a quiet study room with internet access and a meeting room for group study.
- Other programs include study buddies, exam review sessions, and on-site tutoring.
