A Note from Area Director, Jeff Spain!
Hello Apartment Area! My name is Jeff Spain and I’m one of the Area Directors in the office. I oversee the Colony Manor, Perkins Green, Racquet Club, and RIT Inn communities and have been in this position for one year. [continue…]My 2009!
The New Year’s resolution signals a fresh start to your year. Whether you agree to change something about yourself or do something for others, personalize your 2009. RIT students volunteered their insights on what they are looking forward to in the coming year. [continue…]HOUSING SELECTION 2009 – THE RENEWAL PROCESS
The renewal process is for students who currently live in an apartment, University Commons suite, or at the RIT Inn. This process gives you the opportunity to renew your housing contract for your current assignment for the 2009-2010 academic year. [continue…]January Is National Stalking Awareness Month
During January 2009, communities across the country including RIT will observe National Stalking Awareness Month, a time to focus on a crime that affects 1.4 million victims a year.

For the past several years, the Center for Residence Life Apartment Area and the NTID Student Life Team have collaborated on a very successful programming initiative known as Chocolate On Ice. [continue…]A Friendly Conversation With Alfred
Alfred is the kind of guy you can find hanging with his friends and having a good time every chance he gets. Singing in karaoke bars, or finding some authentic ethnic food are frequent activities. Sitting down with this Residence Life Community Advocate (CA), who lives and works within the Riverknoll complex, was like a relaxing afternoon making a new friend.

What do the “winter blues” and SAD feel like? [continue…]Stay Connected

It was crunch time when sitting down with Matt Danna. His busy schedule of academics, a part-time job and of course his valuable time as Vice President for Student Government (SG) keeps this third year RIT student extremely active. [continue…]Bike with Caution
Each year, more than 500,000 people in the US are treated in emergency departments, and more than 700 people die as a result of bicycle-related injuries. [continue…]Greek & Green
They’re off…with the lights. The energy conservation competition between the six Greek free-standing houses known as “Greek Circle” officially began on December 1, 2008. With sustainability on their minds, each Greek chapter is focusing on efforts to increase environmental awareness within each house by reducing their carbon footprint and conserving energy. [continue…]The Good Guy, Adam Bosen
Adam Bosen, a Residence Life Community Advocate (CA), who has a strict course load but maintains such a spirited attitude, wants people to know that he is part of the good guys. He and his fellow CAs are here for the students. [continue…]A Mural for the Lyell Avenue Library
The Lyell Avenue library is a small brown building north west of the city of Rochester, so small you may miss it when driving by. This little library, however, has a huge impact on the surrounding community. It makes a strong effort to reach out to the youth population of the struggling area.
