In 1969, Sewall students had the innovative idea to bring engaging professors into Sewall Hall to teach residents in small classes.ÌýThe first academic classes took place in SewallÌýwith great successÌýin the fall of 1970.
The success of this program at Sewall encouraged other RAPs to form over the years; there are now a dozenÌýresidential academic programs at CU.
We are proud of our academic program and the community connections created between the generations of students who have lived, learned, and created lifelong friendships in Sewall Hall. As part of Sewall’s history, fathers, mothers, aunts, uncles, brothers, and sisters have encouraged the next generation of studentsÌýto choose Sewall for its community and academic opportunities.
As a result, Sewall has an academic and residentialÌýlegacy unlike any other on the CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ campus.
If there is a "Sewalligan" in your family, we encourage you to continue the legacy byÌýchoosingÌýthe Stories and SocietiesÌýRAP in Sewall HallÌýfor your first-year experience.
