Description

Nebraska Wesleyan students have a new housing option for the 2010-11 academic year. Two theme houses will offer upper-class students the opportunity to explore the house theme by providing unique chances to learn, develop and grow within their house. Students living in each of the theme houses will work alongside a faculty advisor. The two proposals chosen for this year are:

• Green House: The Green House will promote a lifestyle that embraces humanity's freedom to have a positive impact on our environment. Some of their activities will include relief work with Project C.U.R.E. to help meet the need for medical supplies, equipment and services around the world, weekly discussion groups, environmental workshops with area elementary schools, and a spring break camping trip. There are 8 students living in the Green House this year.
• Dream House: The goal of the Dream House is to reignite the desire for the children in the community to always dream big. Students living in this house will adopt a local elementary school and work with students, teaching them that big dreams are attainable and instilling the value of a college education. There are 11 students living in the Dream House this year.
