Living at Snow Lion

Co-curricular Activities & Programming

Snow Lion programming is one of the ways we fulfill our mission of helping new undergraduates find ways to make connections between what they are learning in the classroom and their daily lives. Students choose activities according to their personal interests. Some of the themes we choose from are: health awareness, lifestyle choices, social justice and leadership skills. Some events we've sponsored are: pancakes @ noon, 24hr poetry readings, movie nights, substance free potlucks, lucid dreaming and funk your gender dialogue. We also provide resources and connections to our outdoor club—ROOT.

There are several benefits to engaging in this living and learning concept: to check in with fellow residents and track each one another's well-being, to get you together with people who share your interests, to give you a place to land as first-year students, to help process your experience and to integrate your home life with your school life. It's a great way to learn new things from your peers. Please indicate on your application your particular areas of interest. You may find that you may be very interested in all of the following and then some.

Community Meetings

It is a valued aspiration to generate an environment in which each person is free to express and discover his or her own unique identity while at the same time finding a common ground with one another in which to live respectfully. This takes some time and effort. Therefore, one important commitment in living at Snow Lion is participation in community meetings, which are held approximately once a month for two hours. In these meetings we make group announcements, pass along important information and work out any problems that may arise in the community. Council process will be used in small groups to facilitate discussion and support our community building. Participation and attendance in community meetings is required. The meetings will be Wednesdays from 12-1:30p.m. during community time.
