The residential proctors came up with a fantastic idea: surprise the resident community with a midnight party on the last night before winter break. They planned and coordinated everything, using a budget given them by the Resident Life Office. They even managed to keep it a secret! The party included a showing of "A Charlie Brown Christmas", and "S'more" making (molten marshmallow, chocolate, and graham cracker sandwiches) on a barbecue grill outside the Student Activity Center.

A recent weekend activity involved baking cookies...close to 300 of them! Students made them from scratch and mixed them by hand, getting a real "feel" for the time-honored art. A showing of the movie "16 Candles" also accompanied the bake-o-rama.
