Sweet Treats & Chill

Fro-Yo Frenzy
This is a low-stake opportunity for residents to bond together with frozen yogurt! Residents will be able to walk to the fro-yo spot together and be given the chance to get to know each other outside of the formality of the dorm or other intentional programming events. Additionally, with classes beginning students will be given the chance before midterm season starts to have a break from the academic routine. A sweet treat is sometimes the token to an unexpected friendship!
