The four communities that will be offered in Fall 2014 are:

 

Gaming Theme Community:  Located in Hornet Village 200

 

The students who participate in this Theme Community will share common interests in game design, gaming etc.  Student will have a chance to interact with Faculty and Staff on campus. Our goal is to support our gaming students on campus by providing them opportunities to socialize, while also offering them off-campus trips to get them out of their room! Examples of what our Gaming theme community did this year: Attend SEIGE gaming conference, weekly gaming tournaments (Dungeons and Dragons, Magic: The Gathering, Yugioh, Pokemon etc.), Dave and Busters game night. Residents work alongside a Gaming Faculty Mentor and their Resident Assistants to engage in community activities that help them to develop both individually and as a group.

Outdoor Adventure Theme Community: Located in Hornet Village 200

 

The students who participate in this Theme Community will want to participate in an active lifestyle. Residents work alongside Faculty/Staff Mentors and their Resident Assistants to engage in community activities that help them to develop both individually and as a group. Examples of what our Adventure theme community did this year: Camping trip at Red Top Mountain, Hiking around Lake Allatoona, Indoor Rock-climbing and tubing down the Chattahoochee! Even if you have never done any of these activities, if you are willing to try something NEW this community could be for you!
 

Engineering Theme Community: Located in Hornet Village 200

 

The Engineering Community offers students a living environment that enhances their connection with the Engineering program at Southern Polytechnic State University in an engaged social setting. Students who choose the Engineering Community have opportunities to connect with faculty, local business leaders and alumnae in the field of engineering, and proximity to peers for forming study groups. Residents work alongside Engineering Faculty Mentor and their Resident Assistants to engage in community activities that help them to develop both individually and as a group.
 

Honors: Located in Hornet Village 200

 

The Honors Community is an exciting way for SPSU Honors Program students to enrich their experience in the Honors Program beyond the classroom and into their living environment. Honors Community members are a diverse group, with varied interests and different majors, creating community and social connections in the residence halls. If you are a part of this Theme Community the Resident Assistant will host study nights but also social activities to encourage a good school-life balance! Residents work alongside Honors Faculty Mentors and their Resident Assistants to engage in community activities that help them to develop both individually and as a group.
