"As soon as you get to know it you'll see why people love CCS.  I can find a million experiences there--most of them homey, some of them outrageous and new, all of them with people who I know and love." - Molly Hoisington, WCAS '11

Service

These pictures showcase some of the community service work that CCS does as a Residential College. Some of these events include Project Pumpkin (where kids from Evanston come to Norris and trick-or-treat at stations set up by different student groups), Relay for Life, and Dance Marathon. CCSers also do a variety of other service activities at locations throughout Chicago and Evanston working with everyone from kids, to refugee families, and citizenship candidates. The CCS service initiative is a new program that seeks to help CCSers find places that other CCSers volunteer at so that they can work together and get other residents involved.
