Residential Engagement Points

Engage with your community and you could win big!

Connecting with your residential community is an essential part of college life. What if you could earn points to bid on cool stuff at the end of the semester, just by reading something or going to an event in your hall? This year, YOU CAN!

Interacting with staff, reading bulletin boards and emails, and going to events in your area will earn you Residential Engagement Points, or REPs. To gain points from engagement, you will scan a QR code that will lead you to a brief survey. Answer the questions and you’ll gain REPs towards a silent auction at the end of the semester where you can bid on items such as Chromebooks, Airpods, River Hawk apparel, Bookstore gift cards, River Hawk dollars and more!
