Themed Floors & Communities
Themed floors are designed to bring students with similar interests and passions together. All floors, including our variety floors, have a Don and run a mix of fun and educational events. Dons do a lot, but your involvement makes your community and themed floors are what you make of them. So, if you are excited to make friends and memories tailored to your interests, a themed floor may be 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.
