Housing
Capen House is one of the Special Interest Dormitories and is
available for students with an interest in the culture and history
of the people of the African Diaspora. This interest is explored
through the completion of a series of required projects and programs
undertaken by residents.
Selection Process
Each spring, the House Managers and the Faculty Advisor of the
Africana Center will carry out the selection process for the 5
single and 4 double rooms. The committee will select the exact
number of seniors and juniors to fill the available singles and the
exact number of sophomores to fill the available doubles. The room
that you are assigned will depend on the lottery number assigned to
you by Residential Life. In other words, the best lottery number
chooses a room first. If you are a rising sophomore, a better
lottery number affords you the opportunities to not only pick your
room from among the available doubles, but also to choose your
roommate from among the other selected applicants. Two waiting lists
will be generated - one for singles and the other for doubles - in
the event that an accepted applicant changes housing preference or
does not return to school. Placement on the waiting list will also
depend on lottery numbers.
Applicants will be required to propose 3 projects, at least one of
which must be completed during the academic year and to attend all
of the programs sponsored by house mates. Residents are also
required to attend at least 3 programs sponsored by the Africana
Center each semester. The Faculty Advisor will periodically review
projects and House managers will oversee the scheduling and
monitoring of projects and fulfilling of other residency
requirements such as attendance at House meetings and following of
House Rules.We are located at:
