Affinity/Theme Housing

Boss and McGill

Boss and McGill (BAM) staff members work with their residents to create diverse, engaging and exciting house and campus experiences. Many house programs focus on physical, intellectual, cultural, emotional, social and professional well-being of residents. BAM is a small house emphasizing a tight-knit family atmosphere and a place where everybody knows one another and is a critical member of the community. Events happen all of the time in BAM, more than twice a week. In addition to programs around the wellness dimensions, we have weekly TGIF events, an annual BAM-B-Q, Thanksgiving dinner, Carnival kick-off, and regular community service projects. As the only all-female house on campus, McGill also has a focus on women's issues. Boss is a first-year Housing area with themed housing, including Global Studies and PLACE house. BAM residents are also active participants in the Hill community through collaborative events like Hilloween.
