Housing and Residential Life
Lourdes Hall (507-457-2500)
Purpose
Housing and Residential Life in conjunction with Academic Affairs offers students a unique educational opportunity in a residential setting where community, experience and exploration are celebrated. Residential College programming offers students living in Lourdes, Tau, and Maria Halls the opportunity to engage with faculty, staff and students through the Residential House System and House Interest Communities. The Residential campus is the home of seven houses: Aquila, Eridanus, Pyxis, Octans, Hydra, Vela, and Volans. Each house hosts community events, participates in House Competitions and has an Interest Community. Members of the House Interest Communities organize events and activities based on a topic through a one-credit class called Residential College Seminar. In this class, students discuss issues and organize events under the facilitation of a faculty instructor and community mentor. Topical ideas for the Residential College Seminar include Leadership, Community Service, Outdoor Adventure, Health and Wellness, Sustainability and Green Living, Global Awareness and Social Justice. Students can also propose new topics each year.
