East Wheelock Upper-class Student Application
2008-09 Academic Year

The mission of the East Wheelock residential program is to encourage collaboration and participation among students, staff and faculty in order to develop a unique residence hall community that integrates personal, social, and intellectual growth. 

The East Wheelock Program strives to enhance the residential experience by providing dynamic opportunities for faculty, students, staff and community members to interact at informal events.  Residents of the cluster should expect to be involved in cluster/floor activities.  Through these activities, residents find ways to enrich the East Wheelock experience for themselves and others in the community. 

If you would benefit from and be willing to contribute to a community committed to integrating social and intellectual life, please complete this application. All applications will be reviewed by the East Wheelock leadership team, which includes the Community Director, Faculty Associate, and First-year Dean.  For current residents of East Wheelock, consideration will be given to your participation in Cluster Council, Service Corps, SIPs (Student Initiated Programs), and cluster programs and events.

Applications should be submitted by 11:59:59 pm on the housing application deadline for the term for which you are applying:
