Communications Residential College (CRC)
Type	Residential college
Established	1981
President	Tony Mucia
Enrollment	109
Location	1855 Sheridan Rd. Evanston IL 60201

East Fairchild's focus is mass media, attracting students interested in film, television, radio and journalism. Informal lectures, known as firesides, presented throughout the year often feature noted journalists and filmmakers.^[2]

CRC was built in 1981 as part of the $23 million South Campus project, which included the construction of 1835 Hinman and other dorms. A $2 million gift from the Sherman Fairchild Foundation of Chevy Chase, Maryland, helped provide equipment and finance other expenses for the residential college. The dorm's equipment includes its own radio station, WXRU 640 AM, as well as three movie screening rooms.

In 1987, a beloved and talented CRC resident named Will Arnold died in his sleep due to an arrhythmia.^[3] Will had been the dorm's equipment chair, and a fundraiser was inaugurated in his honor, with half the proceeds going to the American Heart Association and half for CRC equipment and events. The fundraiser is called Radiothon. It spans 50 straight hours of student-run radio shows. Events include a date auction, drag show, and a goods auction, with items and gift certificates donated by area merchants. Another event is a show called "That's Stupid." Residents encourage their dormmates to charge a certain amount of money to perform a particular stunt or performance.

Jones, who the building was then dedicated to. The Joneses were both alumni of Northwestern from the graduating class of 1923, and were essential to bringing in support from alumni located in Texas. The facilities of Jones include: a space for photo editing, music recording, sound editing, ceramics studio, art studio, music and theatrical rehearsal rooms, a dance studio, and a performance space.

[edit] Residential College of Cultural and Community Studies (CCS)

Residential College of Cultural and Community Studies
Type	Residential college
Established	1972
Master	Eli Finkel
Hall President	Manisha Bhatia
Enrollment	40
Location	2303 Sheridan Rd Evanston IL 60201

College of Cultural and Community Studies is one of the first residential colleges at Northwestern University and also its smallest.

The College of Cultural and Community Studies was one of Northwestern's first residential colleges. Founded in the fall of 1972, CCS was originally called the Urban Studies College. The college's main purpose was to provide a home to students interested in the interaction of diverse cultures and urban communities in the United States and abroad. CCS emphasizes interaction with the local community through a variety of outings and through community service while maintaining interest in the culture that defines the world outside this community. Thus, members continue to organize and participate in events that offer contact with various cultures and ethnic groups in the Chicago Area.

Students from as far away as Taiwan and as close as the south side of Chicago live together in CCS, one of Northwestern University's oldest residential colleges. Our majors range from art practice to journalism to engineering, but we share a love of diverse cultures and concern for our local and global communities.

[edit] Shepard Residential College

Shepard Residential College is a multi-thematic residential college located at 626 University Place.

[edit] Slivka Residential College for Science and Engineering

Slivka Residential College
Type	Residential college
Established	2002
Master	Art Schmidt
President	Ryan Brock
Enrollment	137
Location	2332 Campus Drive Evanston IL 60201

Slivka Hall was built in 2002 as Northwestern's residential college devoted to science and engineering. It was named after Ben Slivka, a Northwestern graduate of 1982 who headed Microsoft's Internet Explorer team up to version 3.0. Slivka is located on the northern part of campus. It lies between CCI and the fraternities. The nearest dining hall is Sargent Hall.

While predominantly made up of engineers, Slivka does contain some students from the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences. It is organized into suites by gender and has an unusually high retention rate of upperclassmen, unlike other residential colleges. Periodically, Slivka brings in professors and other Northwestern faculty, such as James Fraser Stoddart, to speak on subjects ranging from nanotechnology to the economics of the internet to string theory. Slivka has four floors and a basement. The basement houses the Discovery Room (a room containing computers, printers, and other assorted technology), the bike room, the music room, and the laundry room. The first floor contains Lisa's Cafe and the second floor contains the Rec Lounge. All the floors contain a varying number of suites, ranging from two on the first floor to six on the third and fourth floors, and a kitchen with an oven, a stove, a refrigerator, a washing machine and a microwave.

Slivka maintains a close relationship with their faculty fellows, professors and staff from the university who choose to associate themselves with Slivka. It hosts semiweekly professor to peer (P2P) lunches where Slivka fellows are invited to join the residents for lunch at Sargent Hall and quarterly Student-Fellow Reception where the fellows join the residents for a catered meal. Slivka's fellows are always invited to attend any events the dorm participates in.
