Themed Floors & Communities
Themed floors bring together students with shared interests and passions. Each floor is supported by a Don and offers a mix of social and educational events throughout the year. The experience is what you make of it, so if you are looking to meet new people and build connections around your interests, a themed floor could be a great fit for you.

Planned events on your floor
Events in residence (also known as “programs”) are thoughtfully planned and delivered by various staff in the Residence Life Office, and most commonly by your assigned Residence Don.
Your Don is an upper year student on your floor there to provide you with support, advice, resources, referrals, and programming.
On themed floors, Dons are required to ensure that a portion of their programming is centered on the theme of their specific floor so as to provide a holistic offering of out-of-classroom learning experiences.
Residents are also welcomed to bring forward programming and social ideas that they want to see and are encouraged to take initiative within their community.
