The Residents Interested in Science for Engineering (RISE) RLC provides a living environment that fosters academic focus and social success for all incoming first year engineering majors.
Members of this community will live together in McCall Hall while taking one of two Campbell University Freshmen Seminar (CUFS) courses together specialized for engineering students. Each course is taught by a Faculty Fellow from the School of Engineering.
Living in this community will provide opportunities for students majoring in engineering to build a strong foundation during their first year at Campbell. This experience was intentionally created to help students connect with others in the same field of study and succeed academically and socially.
