As our largest class of residents settle into campus, we want to empower you all to explore and learn about the resources at your disposal. Afterwards, explore campus for yourself, take selfies at the resources, and submit them to our #UAreHome2021 contest. Submissions must tag @uofuhousing and use the hashtag #UAreHome2021 to enter; all submissions are due September 3. Two grand prize winners will be chosen to receive a $50 gift card to the campus store, and several runners up will receive HRE swag items.
