This is the home of the Residential College Board at Northwestern University. This site is intended to help you get to know more about the Residential College Board, its members, and its purpose. We are proud to represent the needs of one third of all on-campus residents at Northwestern, and we strive to enhance the experience and the benefits of living in a Residential College.

[11.18.09]  Volume II Issue 2 of the RCBuzz is now out!  In this issue, titled Beyond Northwestern, Ken Fuller, RCB's VP of Philanthropic Affairs highlights the "plethora of opportunities" around us - and a great way to explore these opportunities is through philanthropy.  Have you read the Buzz?

[11.07.09]  The Ping Pong Tournament was a lot of fun and congratulations to Benedict Lim (Chapin), Kevin Li (Slivka), and Spencer Jackman (PARC) for winning 1st, 2nd, and 3rd!  And a big thank you to Shaayak for organizing this whole thing.
Early the next morning, RCB took a group out to Somme Wood for Prairie Project.  Along with a group from Loyola University & two other high school groups, the team cleared out a big section of the prairie of an invasive species - with a lot of "Timber" yelling and a very very large fire going.  Be sure to read about this exciting adventure in the next issue of the RCBuzz!

[11.04.09]  Despite the terrible weather conditions, many still came out to the Turf to braved the elements and made Quidditch possible.  Pictures are up.  And I'll end this update with a Thank You to everyone who came out that night.  (Plus a quote of the Daily Northwestern!)
"Did you see the big game last week?" 
"You mean RCB Quidditch?"
