Project House Application/Presentation Process

The Residence Life Committee has established the following guidelines for the awarding of College-owned houses.

  • All groups will be given equal consideration.
  • Project Houses are awarded based on group presentation (how the goals/objectives will be achieved; the reason a house is needed to meet the goals/objectives; how the group (house) will be held accountable for the project).  The Committee may take into account other factors before approving a house, including the members' ability to communicate, group cohesion, commitment, organization, and flexibility. All group members must be present at House Presentations (unless currently abroad).

PROJECT HOUSE APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS:

  • Completed Project House Application. All students applying for the Project House must be listed on application. All rooms/spaces must be filled the entire year.
  • Signed House Contract from each house applicant.
  • Project House proposal, completed application, and signed House Contracts must be received by the Department of Residence Life by the deadline
    indicated. 
  • Each proposal must include a detailed description of the house project. Please include the name of your house (project/group) and  the goals/objectives of the group (house).  If your group is presenting a project or idea that was a successful project house in the past, feel free to share that information as part of your presentation. However, please be sure your main focus is the goals/objectives of the project house for the upcoming academic year, and how those goals/objectives will be achieved.

During Project House deliberations, the Residence Life Committee will attempt to make a decision based on group consensus. If group consensus is not possible, a coin toss will determine which group will be awarded the house.
