The team at Chisholm Hall is focused<br />

on creating memorable student experiences<br />

and works hard to come up with innovative<br />

ways to create a sense of community and help<br />

residents meet new people.<br />

Chisholm Hall ushered in the spring<br />

semester with Carnival de Chis, a ‘welcome<br />

back’ event where residents were treated to<br />

carnival games, competitions and a night full<br />

of prizes.<br />

Events included a Nerf gun shooting<br />

range, ring toss, face painting, tug of war<br />

and a mystery gift wall, all of which the<br />

RA team created from scratch. Each event<br />

won residents tickets that served as currency<br />

for acquiring prizes, food, and the grand prize<br />

the conditions in which people were<br />

living and was inspired by the difference<br />

engineering made to their day-to-day lives.<br />
