Our
theme is the ENTIRE building!
Engelhardt
is a welcoming and respectful community of 125 residents with a variety of interests, hobbies and academic majors. However, residents
do have one thing in common and that is our desire and commitment
to refrain from using alcohol and other drugs. Engelhardt’s
theme is S.E.L.F.- Students Electing to Live Free. With this common
bond, students find it easy to form friendships and easily become
active members of the hall.
Students choose to live in Engelhardt for a variety of reasons,
but once they are here, they continually say the active community
and family feel is what keeps them in the hall. Because all the
residents commit to being drug and alcohol free, the building stays
clean and residents are respectful of one another. Residents can
be found hanging out in the lounges or in their rooms with the door
open. Residents often referred to Ehardt as home, which explains
why we have a mix of freshman through seniors who love living here.
Getting involved in the hall is easy to do with a great staff,
an active hall council, and many intramural sports teams. Hall Council
plans programs both in the hall and off campus. Residents have enjoyed
activities open door night, winter holiday party, and the annual substance-free Halloween Dance at the MUB which Engelhardt plans for the entire campus. Intramural sports are big with Engelhardt residents, including kickball, flag football, dodgeball, volleyball and broomball.
Engelhardt’s
commitment to Diversity
Engelhardt residents respect and learn from one another. Openness to new ideas and a willingness to consider other viewpoints is evident from the participation we have had in a variety of programs about diversity. The hall staff have held films and discussions on  femininity, masculinity, and the Invisible Children of Uganda. The staff also hosted Coming Out cupcake decorating, a invited Professor Ripley to come talk about immigration and music, and took a trip to hear Jean Kilbourne talk about gender roles in advertising. We also hosted the Bias Gallery in the main lounge, a display on bias incidents that have occurred on campus, followed by a discussion on racism. |

Community Service
Since the fall of 2003, Engelhardt Hall has partnered with New
Outlook Teen Center in Exeter, NH. New Outlook is an after-school
and summer adventure program providing middle and high school youth
with high-quality,  creative,
recreational, educational and supportive programming. New Outlook
encourages youth to express themselves, transcend personal boundaries,
learn the value of service to others, and develop individual assets
that foster healthy and meaningful lives. Their school year and
summer adventure programs provide positive, healthy activities for
over 350 youth in the Greater Exeter Area. To learn more about New
Outlook Teen Center visit their website at www.newoutlookteencenter.org
This Fall, several students took a trip to the New Outlook Teen Center to spend time with the teens and play games with them, and to talk about being chem.-free.
In addition to New Outlook, Engelhardt residents have contributed to multiple food drives and donated money to sponsor-a-child for the holidays, and participated in a letter-writing campaign to raise money for St. Jude’s Children’s hospital. |

| Academics
Academics are important to Engelhardt residents, who have
majors that vary across colleges and departments. No matter
what the subject, be it mechanical engineering, athletic training,
or history, our residents work hard. There are many opportunities
for residents to help each other, give study tips, and form
study groups. One on-going group this year has been the Chemistry
study group, with students from majors like microbiology,
pre-veterinary medicine, marine biology, and chemical engineering
supporting each other in Chemistry classes. Some of our theater
majors have starred in plays on campus, like A Murder is Announced,
Twelfth Night, and Into the Woods. Many of our students are
practicing what they are learning, in placements for nursing,
social work, and education. This year the hard work is paying
off- nearly half of the building achieved honors for the Fall
2005 semester!
