Konkow Hall
Housing Themes for the 2009–2010 Academic Year
Honors
Life in Honors House is a wonderful opportunity to balance scholarship and an active social life. Honors houses occupy four of Konkow’s six units. Each unit houses 13 residents plus a student resident advisor (RA) who is usually a former honors house resident. This unique environment is an excellent combination of residence hall life and apartment life. Honors houses provide residents with a quiet academic environment balanced with numerous social activities. In cooperation with honors faculty and honors RAs, residents of honors house create a living environment that enhances their academic life. Space is limited, and your honors in general education program application must be completed before you can be considered for the Honors Houses. Please contact the honors office at 530–898–5749 or by e-mail at hnrs@csuchico.edu.
Project Math and Science
Residents in this themed–living environment will be provided with in–house tutoring and personalized academic advising. We have found that the combination of living with like-minded students and receiving academic support helps students be highly successful in what can be a very challenging first year. For more information, please visit Project MATH's website.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Jorgen Berglund, assistant professor of mathematics at jjberglund@csuchico.edu or 530–898–5350.
By the way, The Konkow Mathematics and Science House has become a very popular housing option for our incoming mathematics and science students, but there are only 13 spaces available. With the success of our students in mind, the College of Natural Sciences has worked with University Housing to provide a similar living environment for more of our students. Mechoopda Hall has been designated a "study–intensive" housing environment, with 60 spaces set aside for science and mathematics students. (The other 60 spaces in Mechoopda will be filled by students from the College of Engineering, Computer Science, and Construction Management.) If the Konkow Mathematics and Science House is your first choice for housing, Mechoopda Hall should be your second choice!
