Programming and Leadership

Each student pays a residential program fee to fund programs and events sponsored by staff and the Quad Council of each Quad. Programs include a variety of activities such as Habitat for Humanity projects, tutoring in the Durham schools, trips to the Holocust Museum in Washington DC, ski trips to the North Carolina ski slopes, dinners with faculty members, outdoor bands, hot air balloon rides, and karaoke, movie, and casino nights.

Special residential programs and activities are planned and jointly sponsored by Residence Life and Housing Services, Pratt School of Engineering, Trinity College of Arts and Sciences, and other University and student groups.

Quad Councils provide leadership opportunities for residents interested in improving the quality of life on campus in addition to planning programs that meet needs of their respective communities. Examples of initiatives that have enchanced student safety and quality of life include improvement of landscaping and grounds around residences, additional lighting in areas frequented by students after dark, locks on residence hall bathrooms, additional seating benches on main quad, and various common area amenities.
