Residential College

The College of Science and Technology and the Office of Residence life invite you to join the Science and Technology Residential College (STRC).

The Science and Technology Residential College makes its home in Woldt Residence Hall with classrooms and lab buildings located nearby. The purpose of the residential college is to provide an on-campus learning environment that fosters the academic success of students pursuing studies in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

We offer a limited number of freshmen the opportunity to participate in the STRC. There are no additional fees for living in the Residential College.

Some examples of the opportunities that life in the STRC has to offer include:

	Participate with students and faculty in academic trips to CMU's Beaver Island Biological Station and museum trips
	Learn about classes, programs of study, internships and future careers through faculty-student dinners and research nights
	Enroll in the same sections of classes as those in STRC
	Form study groups
	Participate in early class registration
	Attend informal faculty workshops on many topics
	Benefit from mandatory common quiet hours

There are also social events designed to help students connect with faculty, staff and peers, including:

	Faculty-student volleyball games
	Service projects
	Annual picnics
	"Science Bowl" (a science quiz competition)
	End of the year banquet and awards program

In order the get the most out of the residential college experience, students need to see a department faculty advisor each semester, participate in a minimum number of academic, social and service activities each semester, and enroll in a minimum of six science, math or technology courses per semester.
