COLLEGE HOUSE EVENTS
The Harrison Boardwalk
Summer is ending, so join us on the 24th Floor for an End-of-Summer Boardwalk to bid adieu to the season! It's the perfect opportunity to meet new people or reunite with other residents. We'll be serving up typical boardwalk bites like crinkle fries, water ice, chicken tenders, burgers (and veggies burgers), and funnel cakes. Have fun competing together in games like Cornhole, Ring Toss, Lounge Hoops, and the "Strongman" Grip challenge. The winners of Cornhole and the Strongman challenge will each walk away with a prize! Finally, savor the memory by designing your own custom tote bag and snapping some Polaroid pictures with friends.
