Meet your future CHP VDC/ VDC Norte Neighbors at Coffee Hour this Friday!
December 4, 2007 at 6:20 pm by Ryan Lombardini
Just so there’s no confusion, coffee hour will occur as it normally does from
However, this is a specially-themed coffee hour for all you CHP students who have been offered VDC or VDC Norte contracts for the 2008-2009 academic year!
Consider this a “mixer,” where you’ll have the chance to meet potential roommates or at least your fellow CHP VDC/ VDC Norte neighbors! Current CHP student, Ricardo Komai, has created a facebook group titled: For those CHP interested in VDC.
We currently do not have any “CHP-themed” housing clusters in VDC, so I think any organized attempt to create one would be greatly beneficial to creating a real CHP community in VDC, assist in hosting more CHP VDC focused events, and ease group travel to and from the complex.
This facebook group can also help facilitate your process of finding other CHP roommates! All future residents of VDC/ VDC Norte are encouraged to attend this Friday’s coffee hour to meet potential roommates!
What: VDC/ VDC Norte potential roommate mixer
When: Friday, December 7,
Where: The Locus, Honors Study Room
Since this facebook group was created by Ricardo’s initiative, you should contact him with any questions at rkomai@uci.edu.
