Social Activities
The Center for Student Life, Student Government, and Student Program Board sponsor various activities throughout the year such as campus-wide banquets, concerts, movie nights on- and off-campus, educational programming, awards programs, and various theme dinners. Each sponsoring organization will notify students and respective parties of the specific dates and costs. These meals are not included in the boarding meal plan.
Homecoming
During the fall semester, Student Government, the Office of Alumni Relations, and the Center for Student Life host Homecoming. This week-long event culminates on Saturday with a tailgate party, an alumni basketball game and a varsity men’s basketball game. During halftime, the Homecoming king and queen are crowned.
Winter Banquet
Student Government hosts Winter Banquet at the end of the fall semester. The RC Student Government over Student Activities oversees choosing a theme, planning, and the execution of the event. The event is held in the Rochester College Theatre and consists of hors d’oeuvres, entertainment and end of the year festivities. All students and employees are invited. Student Government attempts to adjust ticket prices so this event is affordable for all.
Celebration
The social clubs and interested students annually present Celebration. The program features selected hosts/hostesses and musical skits presented by students. Auditions for hosts/hostesses and song and dance ensembles are open to all current traditional students.
The Emmys
Student Government hosts the Emmys at the end of the spring semester. This event is a mixture of mock awards and annually given awards such as Mr. and Miss Rochester College and the Second Miler Award. The event is held on campus and is free to all current students and employees.
Intramurals
The intramural sports program is available for all students, employees and employee’s spouses to have the opportunity to participate in fair, safe and recreational sports programs. This program is designed so the beginner and the expert may benefit and enjoy the attributes of physical recreation.
The intramural program also gives its participants the opportunity to compete in individual sports skills or team/club competition. This competition helps foster one’s relationship with teammates, opponents, officials and spectators. This not only helps one develop physical skills but contributes to the development of the mental and social skills necessary for life.
Information concerning the Rochester College Intramural program can be found in the Center for Student Life.
