Project Hilltop
For the 2005-2006 academic year,
The Office of Residence Life with support from the
Office of Student Conduct, the Housing Office, the
Office of Housing Operations and InterHall launched a
new campaign called Project Hilltop. The purpose of this
campaign is to increase student behavior which
demonstrates pride in their living areas, raise student
awareness of vandalism, reduce vandalism charges, and
educate students on the community billing process. The
project also sets out to strengthen communication
between residents, building staff and custodial staff.
The Project Hilltop Committee
created a marketing campaign to educate students about
vandalism, community building process, and reporting
acts of vandalism and destruction that occur in the
community. Additionally, the Committee sponsored the
first annual Hilltop Week, which centered on activities
and programs in the residence halls that would bring the
community together. Some of the activities included:
Community Service Day, Bulletin Board contest,
Facilities/Housekeeping Appreciation Day, Grounds
Clean–up and Beautification Day. Furthermore, as an
added incentive, the Committee created Hilltop Grants in
the amount of $100.00, to encourage Resident Assistants,
Apartment Managers and Community councils to continue to
advance and promote the goals of Project Hilltop through
their individual and/or collective programming.
The Hilltop Committee believes that education,
proactive program planning and most importantly
accountability and pride will produce safe and
hospitable environments for our students to live, study
and thrive.

damage charges result when, after efforts have been
exhausted, Residence Life staff still cannot determine
who is responsible for an act of vandalism. Please
read the Housing Occupancy Agreement (section 8) for
