Opening Doors

Be a part of one of the most exciting changes to happen on our campus as we open the doors of Wright Street houses and turn the keys over to our student body. That's right, each of the houses will serve as a space for our students to build community and belonging. Our students are excited to move their affinity groups in, but they need your help! From furniture to food, our students need programming support to help bring these houses to life. Which one resonates with you?
