East Wheelock Upper-class Student Application 2009-10 Academic Year

The East Wheelock Program is an intellectually vibrant and culturally diverse residential community that expands the educational experience beyond the classroom.  Through enhanced interaction among students, faculty, staff, and a wide range of visiting scholars, artists, performers, and public figures, the program prepares students for life-long learning and responsible global citizenship.

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 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:
