Small Group Housing committee picks 15

By Neil Schoenherr

Fifteen groups have been selected by a committee to participate in Small Group Housing next semester.

The larger-than-anticipated total made those associated with program very happy.

"I am absolutely delighted," said Jim Davis, professor of political science in Arts & Sciences, director of the Teaching Center and chair of the Small Group Housing committee. "The numbers really exceeded our expectations. These groups have come in on the ground floor and now have the opportunity to be a part of an exciting new community on campus."
