Along with your Resident Assistant, you and you community will talk through what you want YOUR hall culture and traditions to be! You'll set expectations for hall communication, discuss communal space use, and decide what traditions you'd like to establish in your hall. This is also a great time to ask any lingering questions you may have about life here at Western! This is a REQUIRED meeting for students who live on-campus.
