Rock on!
“Rock on!” is a rock climbing event designed to promote leadership & growth by encouraging residents to challenge themselves, step outside of their comfort zones, and celebrate personal progress. Rock climbing provides a fun and interactive way for residents to build confidence while supporting and encouraging one another throughout the experience. The event will emphasize that growth does not always mean reaching the top, but recognizing the courage it takes to try, persevere, and keep climbing. Through this shared experience, residents will have the opportunity to connect with their peers while developing a greater sense of confidence and resilience.
Probasco Dinner: Dim Sum Garden!
This 20-year-old tradition is a weekly casual dinner where residents can meet new people, connect with Harnwell peers, staff, and faculty, and enjoy a meal and good conversation. This week’s Probasco dinner is featuring one of our campus favorites, Dim Sum Garden! This event is not grab-and-go; please plan to stay and eat dinner with us.
