Thanks to the 30% of undergraduates who participated in the voting process, and especially the student neighborhood council members who also represented their houses in the neighborhood councils’ efforts to facilitate the process.
Now that we have our neighborhood name, the neighborhood councils will be working with students and campus partners to design new neighborhood swag and plan a commemorative event to mark this special occasion! Keep an eye on the neighborhood Instagrams and future neighborhood newsletters for opportunities to get involved.
