Housing Themes for the 2009–2010 Academic Year
CAVE Civic Engagement
The floor is made up of a community of students who think volunteering and making a difference is a fun and rewarding experience. Residents on the community service theme floor:
- Learn the value of community service for personal growth and academic enhancement.
- Discover the wide array of service opportunities available on our campus and in the community.
- Network with other students, staff, and faculty who desire to make a difference.
- Participate in a variety of service events/activities of their choice. CSU, Chico is home to one of the premiere student-run community service programs in the CSU system, Community Action Volunteers in Education (CAVE). In conjunction with CAVE, the University Housing and Food Service Office and the theme floor RAs have developed a year-long program to promote and support first year residents' education and participation in community service activities. Monthly events/activities or presentations are provided which support the philosophy that learning through service is an integral part of university life. Fun, food, friends, service AND learning are a winning combination - not to mention the satisfaction of knowing that the residents' contribution truly makes a difference.
