Residential Life

Earhart Hall is undergoing many changes. With the completion of the first dining court, going co-ed, and adding more Learning Communities, the year is bound to be an adventure for all. The experiences gained through residential life at Earhart are endless. All students, especially those in a living learning community are only a few steps away from fellow classmates dealing with the same rigors of adjusting to college life, and that nasty physics homework.
Earhart Hall offers a wide array of activities for its residents. Everything from intramural sports to working with the hall club, Itasca, are available for each resident. Many floors often begin their own activities for their neighbors.

Residence Amenities

Earhart has many outstanding services. Earhart is equipped with spacious study lounges throughout the building. In addition, floors have an ironing room with study tables. The central connecting portion of the hall contains three lounges for quiet study, group meeting, or leisure activities such as watching movies on the big screen TV. The main floor also has vending machines, an ice machine, two computer labs, two kitchens, upright and grand pianos, a guest apartment for family rental, a large screen TV and VCR, the conference room, main office. Two study lounges, luggage storage, linen room, and the laundry room is in the basement.

The Itasca Club

Itasca, Earhart's official hall club, is named after the last ship to hear from Amelia Earhart. The club's purpose is to encourage scholastic achievement and to promote a varied program of activities. Itasca Club is a representative body that serves as the halls' student government.

Itasca provides many social and educational opportunities throughout the year, including dances, Locks for Love, a breakout bash and much more. The activities put on by the club are decided by you- the resident.

All Earhart residents are members of the club and benefit from all the services that Itasca provides. The executive board of Itasca works hard to develop leaders within the club, so that the club can grow to be even bigger and better than it already is. As a resident of Earhart, you are encouraged to come check out what the club is and can offer you!
